UPDATE: New Hazardous Weather Outlook Issued For Yorktown, Somers

The National Weather Service issued a notice this morning for Putnam, Rockland and Westchester counties about possible thunderstorms and flooding today and Thursday.

• Hazardous Weather Outlook

The weather advisory states that showers and thunderstorms could develop this afternoon and evening and could produce locally heavy rainfall with a chance of flash flooding.

A frontal boundary will push thru the valley Wednesday morning,” said Bill Potter of Hudson Valley Weather. “ The cold front is not very strong, but it will shift the wind direction out of NW instead of the SW… which should help to stabilize the humidity we’ve seen of late. It won’t be “crisp and dry”… but it should not be as oppressive.”

More thunderstorms are forecast for Thursday during the day and evening, and there is also a chance of flooding then as well.

As for the timing of the stormy weather, the National Weather Services writes it’s possible after 9 a.m. today and could occur up until 3 a.m. Temps will be in the high 80s to low 90s in the area.

On Thursday, stormy weather is predicted after 2 p.m.

And, by the way, if you were wondering about yesterday’s storms, Hudson Valley Weather says:

Many places saw little if any rain… but for a few locations, it was monsoon season…some places (near Carmel and Brewster) saw 1 to 3 inches of rain! A line of heavy showers and thunderstorms entered that area, and much like parts of our area saw a week or two ago… the storms “trained” over the same location. The long duration event, allowed the storms to dump a massive amount of rain in some isolated areas. Pretty wild stuff.
