Hazardous Outlook Issued: Yorktown's Work Week Weather

SOMERS, NY -- Looks as if the unsettled weather will continue. There's even been a Hazardous Weather outlook issued.

Monday's not bad, but then it all goes downhill.

"There are a few light sprinkles appearing in the southern Catskills," said the guys at Hudson Valley Weather, "but the vast majority of the valley will remain dry to start the week."

Still, the National Weather Service already warns:

There is the possibility of severe thunderstorms Tuesday afternoon and evening, with the main threat damaging wind gusts and large hail. In addition, locally heavy rainfall is possible with any stronger convection. While the main threat is for minor flooding of urban and poor drainage areas, there is a small chance for localized flash flooding.

And it's not just going to be Tuesday. It's going to be like that for a while.

"After a relatively warm and dry start to the month of May, the pattern has become much more humid and wetheading into the middle of the month across the Northeast," AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Dan Pydynowski said.

• Today-Partly sunny, with a high near 72. Calm wind becoming southwest around 6 mph in the afternoon.
