As expected, the Storm Prediction Center has upgraded to a Slight Risk for Severe Weather for tomorrow. For parts of northern New York and Vermont. As I said earlier, we’re going to be dealing with a warm front lifting into the region, ahead of this there is a chance for strong to severe thunderstorms later Tuesday and Tuesday night, with the Storm Prediction Center placing parts of northern New York and Vermont under a Slight Risk for severe weather. I also said there would likely be a weakening complex of storms dropping in out of Canada into New York State and New England.
The main
risk will be damaging winds. But large hail, torrential downpours and even an
isolated tornado are possible.

Wednesday
will likely also be dealing with severe weather. The SPC still has the region
at a Marginal Risk, but there is a good chance this will be upgraded across
part of the region.

The model
trend continues to point toward warmer and warmer temperatures during the 2nd
half of this week.
The NWS has also issued a Heat Advisory for tomorrow, as well as an Excessive Heat Watch for much of for a large part of the region for Wednesday through Friday.
Extreme Heat
Warning—Take Action! An Extreme Heat Warning is issued when extremely dangerous
heat conditions are expected or occurring.
Avoid outdoor activities, especially during the heat of the day. If you
must be outside, be sure to drink plenty of water and take frequent breaks in
the shade. Stay indoors in an air-conditioned space as much as possible,
including overnight. Check on family and neighbors.
Extreme Heat
Watch—Be Prepared! An Extreme Heat Watch is issued when conditions are
favorable for an extreme heat event, but its occurrence and timing is still
uncertain. Plan to suspend all major outdoor activities if a warning is issued.
If you do not have air conditioning, locate the nearest cooling shelter or
discuss staying with nearby family or friends who have air conditioning.
Heat
Advisory—Take Action! A Heat Advisory is issued for dangerous heat conditions
that are not expected to reach warning criteria. Consider postponing or
rescheduling outdoor activities, especially during the heat of the day. If you
must be outside, be sure to drink plenty of water and take frequent breaks in
the shade. Stay in a cool place, especially during the heat of the day and
evening.
As we move
through the next 24 hours, I do expect the NWS to expand and upgrade all of
this, as things continue to warm up!
