HV Weather: Storms To Break Up Humidity Temporarily

HUDSON VALLEY, NY — Heat indices will once again rise into the mid 90s to around 100 this afternoon. Scattered showers and thunderstorms will develop into this evening, some with strong gusty winds.

Any storms that do form will be heavy rain producers. Some communities could be hit with multiple storms, said AccuWeather Meteorologist Max Vido. Gusty storms that would normally be relatively harmless could easily uproot and topple trees in the saturated soil.
