00:00A slow-moving storm system is about to bring a rough Thursday to millions across the Northeast.
00:06AccuWeather forecasters say the greatest risk for severe thunderstorms stretches from parts
00:11of Virginia and Maryland through Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and eastern New York. That zone
00:16includes the Washington, D.C., Baltimore, Philadelphia, and New York City metro areas,
00:22along with towns near the Interstate 81 corridor. The threat builds through the day as rising
00:27humidity feeds showers, and storms that spread east during the afternoon and evening. Forecasters
00:33say the strongest storms could produce localized damaging wind gusts of 50 to 60 mph, with isolated
00:39gusts near 70. Heavy rain is also expected to raise the risk of flash flooding in low-lying and urban
00:45areas. Anyone with evening plans or a flight through one of the major East Coast airports
00:50should expect possible delays and be ready for sudden downpours.
