UPDATE: Whatever Happened to Those Thunderstorms?

Updated at 5:47 p.m. on Thursday, June 11, 2015: Remember that storm that was supposed to be here sometime this afternoon and early evening? It’s not only late, but the National Weather Service, which had announced its pending arrival, now says the storm’s likely not coming at all.

In its late afternoon update, the National Weather Service says there is now only a “slight” chance of showers but otherwise you’ll be able to enjoy the sunny skies for the remainder of the evening. Temps will remain in the mid 80s.

Friday will be a nice sunny day with temps in the 80s, and thunderstorms possible on Saturday.

We’ll see.

The National Weather Service has added another notice:

• Air Quality Alert
• Hazardous Weather Outlook

Earlier today, New York health officials issued a similar Air Quality Advisory for sensitive groups.

A cold front is moving slowly through the area, bringing with it the potential for strong to severe thunderstorms.

Any isolated storms should start just after 3 p.m., and they will have likely passed through the area by 8 p.m.

The main threat is damaging winds and a slight chance of flash flooding. The best chance for the strongest storms is to the north and west.

“Much of the area will be right around 90°… which is around 10 degrees above average for this time of year,” said Bill Potter of Hudson Valley Weather.
