Some Heavy Weather On The Way



Look at the radar. Just click on that New York weather link on the left. Don't water the plants, they should get a dousing.

... Severe thunderstorms expected this evening...

A line of severe thunderstorms is currently moving through central
New York and central Pennsylvania... and is on track to enter the
forecast area this evening. These storms have a history of
producing wind damage... and are not likely to weaken as they
approach the local area.

This line will first enter the lower Hudson Valley... northeast
New Jersey... and New York City between 5 PM and 6 PM... and will
move east into Connecticut and Long Island between 7 PM and 8 PM.
Additional thunderstorms will linger over the area through
midnight.

Severe thunderstorms are capable of damaging winds over 58 mph and
hail over 1 inch in diameter. Frequent and dangerous lightning
strikes are expected with these storms. Torrential rain with rates
between 1 and 2 inches per hour is likely... possibly producing
flash flooding over the area. Isolated tornadoes cannot be ruled
out.

Please stay advised for warnings that will be issued.
