Severe thunderstorms rolling through the region prompted a brief tornado warning for parts of New York City early Tuesday morning.
A Tornado Warning was in effect for Brooklyn and Queens from 4:35 a.m. until 5 a.m. Tuesday; it expired with no tornadoes, however. Flash Flood Warnings are still in place until 7:30 a.m. for much of the city, though.
The warnings follow a round of severe weather that rolled through all evening long, with lightning and heavy rains. Parts of northeastern New Jersey reported some flash flooding from the heavy downpours, with some areas recording up to 2 inches of rain in as little as an hour.

The storms are largely expected to move east over Long Island by 8 a.m. or so, clearing out the city for most of the day - but not entirely.
As a cold front moves through, another round of thunderstorms is possible around 2 p.m. or so, before the front finally moves through and the region transitions to a few days of very mild, sunny weather.
