Stormy Weather Possible Throughout Hudson Valley Tuesday

At 4:51 a.m. Tuesday, the NWS issued a Hazardous Weather Outlook for Orange, Putnam, Rockland and Westchester counties, saying there is a small chance for strong to severe thunderstorms Tuesday afternoon and evening. (Get Patch’s Daily Newsletter and Real Time News Alerts here.)

Additional periods of showers and thunderstorms are likely Wednesday night and Thursday, with the potential for heavy rainfall, mainly along and north of I-90.
