...A Significant Severe Weather Event is Possible this Afternoon

and Evening...

Despite morning clouds and rainfall...warmer and more unstable air

will push into the region through early this afternoon ahead of

an advancing cold front. This will set the stage for a developing

Thunderstorms have developed across upstate New York as of 12pm.

These storms are expected to intensify and expand in coverage as

they move east through the afternoon. Storms are expected to move

into western New Hampshire after 2pm...reaching western Maine

after 4pm. The severe weather threat should come to an end after

8pm.

Storms will have the potential to produce damaging winds...large

hail and isolated tornadoes. Torrential rainfall with localized

flooding will also be possible.
