A mesoscale low is being tracked as it passes over Long Island.
The low-level wind flow and vertical wind shear could cause some damaging thunderstorms and potentially even spin off a few tornadoes.
As a result, two Tornado Warnings were issued over the past hour across central Long Island and the severe threat continues.
As low pressure moves into southern CT, the side of the low to watch is the eastern side. This could put portions of New Haven, Middlesex and New London Counties into an enhanced threat of severe thunderstorms.
