Severe Thunderstorm Watch Issued for Parts of the Tri-State Area
Enjoying the recent pleasant weather? While the warmth is expected to continue for much of the week, residents across the Tri-State area should be aware of a developing weather situation. A severe thunderstorm watch has been issued, and conditions could change rapidly.
Current Conditions & Severe Thunderstorm Watch Details
Isolated thunderstorms are possible across portions of the Tri-State area later today, Tuesday. Areas north and west of the city are currently at the highest risk, though widespread severe weather isn’t anticipated. However, the primary concern is the potential for damaging winds associated with these storms.
Specifically, a severe thunderstorm watch is currently in effect for Dutchess, Ulster, and Sullivan counties until 10 p.m. tonight. This means conditions are favorable for the development of severe thunderstorms in these areas. Stay vigilant and monitor updates from reliable sources like NBC 4.
Unseasonably Warm Temperatures This Week
Despite the potential for thunderstorms, temperatures are currently trending 20 to 25 degrees above average for this time of year. Enjoy the warmth while it lasts, as a significant shift is on the horizon.
Dramatic Weekend Temperature Drop
The mild weather won’t last forever. While Saturday will start off pleasant, a cold front is expected to move through the area on Sunday afternoon and evening.
