Overview

An EF-0 tornado was confirmed in Purchase, NY to Rye Brook, NY from 4:10pm-4:17pm. Damage was observed consistent with a tornado on the campus of Manhattanville College before intermittently touching down a few more times before lifting near the NY/CT border.
A warm front associated with strong low pressure over Southern Canada slowly moved north across the region.
Several clusters of heavy showers and strong to severe thunderstorms moved along the warm front through the day. The strongest activity generally moved across NE NJ into portions of the Lower Hudson Valley and Southern Connecticut.
Tornado warnings were issued for portions of Passaic, Bergen, and Essex counties due to radar indicated rotation. However, there was no confirmation of any tornado or damage in these areas.
Several flash flood warnings were also issued due to the heavy rain including considerable tagged Flash Flood Warnings for portions of Westchester, Fairfield, and New Haven Counties.
Multiple towns in Bergen, Westchester, Fairfield, and New Haven Counties observed flash flooding with road closures, stranded motorists, and water rescues.
Highest rainfall totals ranged from 3 to 5 inches across portions of central Westchester and southern Fairfield Counties.
There were also isolated reports of trees and wires down from damaging winds in a few of the storms.
