NEW YORK (WABC) -- Rounds of severe storms triggered downpours, flash flooding, damaging winds and possible tornadoes on Tuesday, just days after storms walloped New York City and the Tri-State area over the weekend.

The second dose of dangerous storms led to tornado warnings and watches being issued by the National Weather Service, which have since expired as the severe weather conditions move offshore.

A Flash Flood Warning remains in effect for the Bronx, Westchester County and Bergen County.

Parts of New Jersey were particularly hard-hit by Tuesday's storms, including Stanhope, where a possible tornado was spotted.

A video posted on social media also showed a funnel cloud on the ground at a golf center in Parsippany, about one mile north of the Troy Hills area.

NWS expects to survey those two locations on Wednesday for possible tornadoes.

Flooding reported in White Plains, some major roads impacted in Westchester

Reports of serious flooding are coming in from Westchester County.

The ramp from the northbound Thruway (I-87) to the Saw Mill River Parkway at exit 7A is temporarily closed due to flooding.

In White Plains, a public safety alert has gone out:

"Flooding Advisory - Please Use Caution

Heavy rainfall has resulted in flooding in several areas throughout the City.

Do not drive through flooded roadways. Even shallow water can hide hazards or cause your vehicle to stall. Turn around and find an alternate route whenever possible.

We are also receiving numerous reports of missing or loose manhole covers that have been displaced by flooding. These openings may be concealed beneath standing water and present a serious danger to both motorists and pedestrians.

If you observe an open or displaced manhole, please report it immediately to the White Plains Police Department at (914) 422-6111.

Please slow down, remain alert, and allow extra travel time as crews respond to weather-related hazards."
