There is a slight risk for severe thunderstorms on Wednesday for all of eastern New York and most of adjacent western New England. The best chance for severe thunderstorms will be Wednesday afternoon and evening.

The greatest threat from these thunderstorms will be damaging wind gusts. However, large hail will also be possible. In addition, an isolated tornado will be possible.

Locally heavy rain may also produce ponding of water in poor drainage, urban and low lying areas. Isolated flash flooding is possible, especially in areas where multiple thunderstorms occur.
