Heat Can Escalate Quickly! Here Are Some Tips!

Another day of heat and humidity is expected for portions of eastern New York with afternoon highs climbing into the upper 80s to low 90s. Increasing humidity across the region ahead of a cold front will lead to peak heat indices of around 95 to 100 degrees this afternoon and evening.

With hot and humid weather in place today, an incoming cold front will result in increased chances for showers and thunderstorms. Thunderstorms mainly north and west of the Capital District may turn strong to severe, mainly during the afternoon hours, with damaging winds the primary hazard. There is a marginal risk (level 1 of 5) for severe weather.

With hot and humid weather in place once again Tuesday, slow moving cold front will result in increased chances for showers and thunderstorms. Thunderstorms mainly south and west of the Capital District may turn strong to severe, mainly during the afternoon hours, with damaging winds the primary hazard. There is a marginal risk (level 1 of 5) for severe weather.

Thunderstorms may produce locally heavy rainfall which could result in minor flooding in poor drainage/urban areas. Isolated flash flooding is also possible, especially where multiple rounds of heavy downpours occur.

Warm temperatures can quickly rise to dangerous levels — especially in the summer and in parked cars. Stay Weather-Ready and don’t underestimate the heat. weather.gov/safety/heat
