Hudson Valley Hazardous Outlook: Severe Thunderstorms
The biggest threat Thursday is damaging winds, the National Weather Service said.
HUDSON VALLEY, NY — Isolated thunderstorms are on tap as first warm air then a cold front swoop into the region, so hazardous outlooks have been issued for the lower and mid Hudson Valley for about 4 p.m. to midnight.
"Later this afternoon we will see increasing instability as the two air masses begin to clash," Alex Marra and Bill Potter of Hudson Valley Weather said on Facebook. "The result will be a broader area of heavy rain and deep convection, some of these storms may become strong to severe especially across western zones."
Brief heavy rainfall and even small hail are possible.
