Thunderstorms with heavy rains and strong winds are expected late Thursday night into Friday morning. The National Weather Service warns that saturated grounds from recent large amounts of rainfall could make trees and power lines susceptible to falling.

The flood watch began 8 a.m. on Thursday and will continue until 8 a.m. on Saturday.

The storm is caused by a low pressure system, which is expected to intensify as it approaches from Ohio and pass south and east of Long Island by Thursday night through Friday morning. The low pressure system is forecasted to move out to sea by Friday evening.
