The National Weather Service's Mount Holly office says it is investigating whether a tornado may have touched down briefly in New Jersey's Camden County as a powerful line of thunderstorms tore across the tri-state area early Thursday.

Wind gusts topping 40 mph and pea-sized hail had been possible in spots from Brooklyn and Queens to Suffolk County and parts of Connecticut, though early reports indicated no immediate severe weather damage. The heaviest rain fell overnight and moved out quickly, ebbing in the city by around 7 a.m. even as skies remained dark.

Parts of central to southern New Jersey were expected to see the most rainfall, stretching from Hunterdon and Somerset counties down to the Philadelphia area, which is where the National Weather Service is focusing its latest attention.
