Wind Advisory, Hazardous Outlook: Hudson Valley

HUDSON VALLEY, NY — A storm system out of the west is bringing gusty high winds and heavy rain to the region Tuesday into Wednesday. Some thunderstorms could be thrown into the mix. Tuesday morning, the National Weather Service issued Wind Advisories for the Mid-Hudson Valley and for southern Westchester, New York City and Long Island.

"The amount of moisture that falls could be rather substantial, because the frontal boundary will be slow to clear the Hudson Valley," said Bill Potter of Hudson Valley Weather.

For the Mid-Hudson:

• Winds...South 15 to 30 mph with gusts up to 50 mph.
• Timing...This morning through late this afternoon.
• Impacts...Strong winds may blow down tree limbs, trees, and power lines. Scattered power outages are possible. Driving may be difficult, especially for high profile vehicles.

For southern Westchester:

• Wind Advisory in effect from October 24, 08:00 AM EDT until October 25, 12:00 AM EDT

For the whole Hudson Valley, the NWS issued a Hazardous Weather Outlook: there will be a localized threat for flash flooding. In Orange, Putnam, Rockland and northern Westchester counties, there could be a low chance of damaging wind gusts.
