Weather AccuWeather: Blustery and chilly AccuWeather forecast for NYC, New York, New Jersey and Connecticut By Eyewitness News The Loop: Your live look at weather and traffic NEW YORK (WABC) -- A powerful storm that swept through the Tri-State Area on Thursday left behind flooding, hail, damaging winds and even a confirmed tornado in southern New Jersey. The National Weather Service confirmed an EF-1 tornado in Burlington County, near Bordentown Township, after surveying storm damage. The tornado touched down around 4 p.m., carving a path about 1.5 miles long and 100 yards wide with peak winds estimated at 100 mph. Survey crews found collapsed walls on a farm building, damage to a home's roof, a school roof covering torn away and overturned farm equipment. The storm brought widespread rainfall totals of a half-inch to 2 inches across much of the region, with some areas of Queens picking up 3 to 4 inches of rain. Residents also reported frequent lightning, large hail and flooding in poor-drainage locations, along with minor to moderate coastal flooding. Higher elevations in the region saw accumulating snow, including up to a foot in portions of the northern Catskills, while some local higher elevations received 2 to 3 inches. In the wake of the storm, the coldest air of the season has settled in, bringing a much more November-like feel. The weekend will be brisk and chilly, with highs remaining in the 40s. Saturday will feature a mix of clouds and limited sunshine, along with the chance of a spotty sprinkle or flurry in higher elevations. Gusty winds could exceed 20 to 25 mph, making it feel more like the 30s at times. Sunday looks brighter with lighter winds and temperatures in the upper 40s. A longer stretch of dry weather is expected next week. Temperatures will gradually moderate, reaching the mid-50s by Tuesday and climbing back to around 60 degrees by the second half of the week.
