Sounds like a tornado watch will be coming soon per the MCD just issued for most of you -- https://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/md/md1885.html

Mesoscale Discussion 1885
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   0131 PM CDT Mon Aug 07 2023

   Areas affected...portions of far southeast New York into eastern
   Pennsylvania...eastern Maryland...Delaware...New Jersey

   Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely 

   Valid 071831Z - 071930Z

   Probability of Watch Issuance...95 percent

   SUMMARY...The severe threat is increasing across portions of the Mid
   Atlantic into the Hudson Valley. Several damaging gusts are likely
   and a couple of tornadoes and instances of large hail are also
   possible. A WW issuance will be needed soon.

   DISCUSSION...Clearing skies across the Mid Atlantic into the Hudson
   Valley are promoting surface temperatures to exceed 80 F amid 70+ F
   dewpoints. With 6 C/km mid-level lapse rates overspreading the area,
   SBCAPE/MUCAPE is exceeding 2000 J/kg. As an upper trough and
   associated stronger west-southwesterly flow aloft continues to
   overspread the region, 40+ kts of effective bulk shear should
   result, with elongated hodographs bearing slight low-level curvature
   (evident via regional VADs and forecast soundings). A mix of
   supercells and multicells are expected, with some upscale growth
   into a QLCS likely later this afternoon. Several to potentially
   numerous damaging gusts are likely, with at least isolated bouts of
   severe hail possible with the more discrete, longer-lasting
   supercells. Tornadoes may accompany any of the stronger supercells
   or leading-line mesovortices. A WW issuance will be needed soon to
   address the increasing severe threat.

Still not impressed for anything severe in NJ.  Exception being southern 1/3 of the state....in line with the outlined area.  The eastern sections of that watch box from SENY / NEPA down to near TTN do not look favorable for severe IMO.  Even SNJ may escape with little or nothing with the loss of daytime heating.

Today's severe weather threat is dynamically driven. 

Combination of deepening trough swinging through Ontario and intensifying jet streak coming up the Appalachians.

Even with the cloud cover, we're sitting at around 2000 J/KG of SBCAPE and 30-40kts of effective shear. Should be plenty to sustain activity. 

The 19z HRRR takes the activity in SE PA and brings it through here around 01z.

Take a look at the latest supercell composite. Not often you see this around here.

I’d say 111 degrees at EWR or LGA is within the realm of possibility but not Central Park. KNYC is a lost cause.

Really wish the nws put more prioritization on knyc. Such an important spot in the world and a fair amount of data output gets scrutinized.

An EF4 tornado could pass down 7th Ave during rush hour and New Yorkers would barely notice.

That’s what nerds are for. To notice the stuff most people don’t give a shit about. Pay some nerds to hangout in the park and be pedantic over every weather event.

New York City is a pretty boring place to live if you're an extreme weather enthusiast outside of the occasional big blizzard and ultra rare tropical hit.

I think accurately accounting for the weather of a place where depending on the time of day 1.5 to 3 million people occupy is worth while.

I'm not saying that they shouldn't keep accurate records.

Just that if you were "paying nerds to hang over in the park" everyday they would be reporting a whole lot of nothing. I guess that's true about most places though.
