Hazardous Outlook Updated For Mid Hudson Valley

The National Weather Service updated its hazardous outlook for Dutchess and Ulster counties:

Showers with isolated thunderstorms can be expected across the area this evening into the early morning hours. Some areas could see locally heavy rainfall, with amounts of 1 to 2 inches, which would be enough to cause minor flooding in poor drainage areas.

For Orange, Putnam, Rockland and Westchester, it's another basic stormy night.

A weak disturbance moves in for the late evening and into the overnight resulting in showers and a few thunderstorms. The rain may be briefly heavy at times, along with a few thunderstorms capable of producing gusty winds.

One unpleasant thing will happen while we're sleeping: It will turn more humid through the night, with temperatures mainly in the middle 60s and upper 60s.

Thursday will be warm with lower and middle 80s in New York City, and middle 70s to around 80 across the northeastern portion of the metro area.

While the humidity will then drop, temps will average slightly above normal for Thursday night into Friday.
