What You Need To Know

  • A Severe Thunderstorm Watch has been posted through midnight for most of eastern NY

  • Damaging winds and poor drainage flooding are the main concerns

  • An isolated tornado cannot be ruled out

  • The severe weather threat should end for all by midnight

After getting through the majority of the day unscathed, a line of downpours and thunderstorms will move through the region this evening.

Conditions for severe weather the next several hours look most favorable from the Capital Region, through the lower Hudson Valley, into NYC.

The main concern with thunderstorms this evening will be damaging winds in excess of 60mph, followed by poor drainage flooding due to torrential rain. While unlikely, an isolated tornado cannot be ruled out, especially around the Binghamton region.
