The southern portions of the metropolitan New York City region as well as Long Island can get hit by a heavy shower or strong thunderstorm between 3 and 6PM. Some of these storms contain heavy rains and strong wind gusts. The threat for more "hit or miss" showers and thunderstorms will continue tonight, tomorrow and Friday.
