[Weather.berkshire] NWS Albany - Thunderstorm and Heavy Rainfall Potential Today into Thursday - Issued August 6, 2019 at 520 AM EDT

[ALB Stormreport - NOAA Service Account]

Dear Emergency Managers and other partners,

Multiple upper level disturbances and frontal systems will move across the
region this afternoon through Thursday, bringing several rounds of showers
and thunderstorms.

The thunderstorms this afternoon into early this evening are not expected
to be severe, but an isolated stronger thunderstorm with damaging winds can
not be ruled out.

There is a Marginal Risk for Severe Thunderstorms for  Wednesday
afternoon/evening for most of eastern New York and adjacent western New
England. The main threat from these thunderstorms would be damaging wind
gusts.

Also, heavy rainfall could lead to ponding of water in low lying, urban and
poor drainage areas, especially Wednesday into Wednesday night. An isolated
flash flood is possible, and the latest WPC Excessive Rainfall graphic has
a Marginal to Slight Risk of exceeding the flash flood guidance across the
forecast area.

Scattered thunderstorms could occur once again Thursday afternoon and
evening, some of which could contain strong wind gusts.

Please refer to the attached images for additional information.
