Dear Emergency Managers and other partners,

*What has changed:* Upgraded most of our NY counties to a slight risk for
severe weather. Expanded marginal risk for severe weather to cover rest of
Albany forecast area outside of slight risk.

Scattered thunderstorms are expected later this afternoon and evening. The
main threat with any storms will be damaging wind gusts. Hail is also
possible. In addition, storms may produce locally heavy downpours, which
may cause flooding of urban, poor drainage and low lying areas.

There is a chance of thunderstorms each day Sunday through Thursday, mainly
during the afternoon and evening hours. Any thunderstorm will also be
capable of locally heavy rainfall which may lead to water ponding on
roadways and poor drainage flooding in low lying areas.

Heat advisories may be needed in the Hudson River Valley Monday and
Tuesday.

Please see the attached graphics for today.
