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.
