Nasty storms could slam us from Harlem To Hollis with rough winds, heavy rain and flooding Wednesday evening, forecasters warn.

All five boroughs will be under a severe thunderstorm watch until 9 p.m. as the nasty weather strikes, while parts of Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan and The Bronx are under a severe thunderstorm warning, the National Weather Service says.
