that have gone severe. now we will be seeing them cool some areas to the west. the winds are in general gusting near 30, but the wind gusts, they could be 50 to 60 miles an hour with a lot of lightning with this move over parts of the county. and maybe over here where eventually there will be another strong cell moving through. just to the northwest of summit that it will head towards patterson and bloomfield with more connected to that, that it could approach new york city by about 6:30 or so that it looks like it will be one that will be going to 6:30 and the other cluster here close to the 7:00 hour. so this line. making a clean sweep across the area. right at 6:30 and moving

close to 7:00. same thing to bridge forth where this line will be moving through the area for the next couple of hours. probably east by about 8:30 to 9:00. so what you need to know is the line of showers and thunderstorms through 9:00, expect the brief heavy downpours and some gusty winds and in that particular storm, maybe some damaging winds. and after that our attention will turn to a big arctic outbreak in april and that will be coming tomorrow night into sunday and again with their prospect of damaging winds, high wind watch out for much of the area already for tomorrow night into sunday. a lot to storm track in the accu weather forecast. >> all right, we'll see you then, thank you. we will turn to the slashing in new york city. the man was slashed in the stairwell of the busy intersection that happened at 34th street. a.j.? >> reporter: liz r, police are blocking off the entrance as

xarelto may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. xarelto can cause serious and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. get help right away for unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. if you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto , watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. do not take xarelto if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto , tell your doctor about any kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. xarelto is the number one prescribed blood thinner in its class. well that calls for a round of kevin nealons. make mine an arnold palmer. same here. with xarelto there is no regular blood monitoring and no known dietary restrictions. treatment with xarelto was the right move for us.
