damaging winds and possibly some hail around 1 inch.   Any thunderstorm

drainage flooding.  An isolated flash flood is also possible.  The main
threat for severe thunderstorms is through 11 pm.

There is a chance of thunderstorms Monday afternoon and evening, and also

heavy rainfall.

*Heat advisories have been issued* for the Hudson River Valley from the
