A couple of especially intense thunderstorms are making their way dangerously close to some major metro areas right now, including a tornado warning for areas of central New Jersey -- the storm itself is moving directly toward New York City!! Farther south, a thunderstorm exhibiting some signs of rotation, with a history of producing very large hail, is northwest of the Washington, DC metro area moving toward Baltimore!

These storms are looking rather impressive on radar, so people in the path should definitely pay attention! Severe thunderstorm watches are currently in effect from Maine to North Carolina, as storms are expected to continue into the evening!
