Dear Emergency Managers and other partners,

Hot temperatures combined with high humidity levels are expected to create
dangerous heat conditions Friday, Saturday & Sunday with the most
oppressive conditions expected Saturday.

An Excessive Heat Watch has been issued for Saturday for the Hudson and
Mohawk Valleys, the southern Taconics and Litchfield County.  Heat
Advisories will likely be needed for portions of eastern New York and
Western New England Friday and Sunday.

There is a marginal risk of severe thunderstorms Friday afternoon and
evening.  Any thunderstorms that occur Friday could contain large hail and
damaging winds.  If damaging thunderstorm winds or lightning cause power
outages and a loss of air conditioning, people will be more vulnerable to
the dangerous heat.
