Hour-by-hour Look At Storms Drenching The Hudson Valley

HUDSON VALLEY, NY — We're not going to get a real break in the rain until Thursday morning. It will moderate overnight, but then is expected to intensify again Wednesday afternoon, when severe, rapidly moving thunderstorms are expected.

The main threats from Wednesday’s storms will be flooding downpours and damaging winds. Plus, isolated tornadoes cannot be ruled out, AccuWeather meteorologists warned.

"So make sure you have the rain gear handy," said Bill Potter and Alex Marra from Hudson Valley Weather.

There are hazardous weather outlooks out for most of the Hudson Valley. The National Weather Service says:

Thunderstorms are possible Wednesday afternoon into Wednesday evening along or ahead of a cold front, some of which may produce strong to damaging wind gusts. The Storm Prediction Center has placed all of eastern New York and adjacent western New England within a Slight Risk for severe thunderstorms for Wednesday.

Additional showers and thunderstorms may also cause localized urban and low lying flooding on Wednesday as well, especially for any locations that experience heavy rain today.
