A severe thunderstorm watch is in effect until 7 p.m. ET on Saturday across parts of the Northeast, according to NOAA's Storm Prediction Center.

An intensifying line of thunderstorms over northern New Jersey is expected to track eastward across the watch area Saturday afternoon, posing a risk of damaging wind gusts of up to 75 mph.
After recent burglaries at homes of professional athletes – including Kansas City Chiefs stars Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce – the NFL and NBA have issued security memos to teams and players warning that “organized and skilled groups” are increasingly targeting players’ residences for such crimes.
