Potential for T-Storms on Tuesday02:49PM / Tuesday, July 12, 2022 | |
Tuesday's hot, muggy weather brings with it the potential for severe thunderstorms across the region.
The National Weather Service has issued a hazardous weather outlook until 8 p.m. on Tuesday. The Albany, N.Y., office says there is a "slight" risk for T-storms across most of eastern New York and Western Massachusetts. These storm systems could bring damaging wind gusts and there is isolated chance for a tornado. The NWS says this is a secondary threat "but cannot be ruled out."
Accuweather reports that the jet stream's shift northward will bring higher temperatures this week after a relatively cooler period at the beginning of July.
"High pressure that provided more comfortable, average conditions the past few days will exit eastward in favor of more heat and humidity into Wednesday," AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Matt Rinde explained.
Accuweather says much of the Northeast will be in line for rain into Wednesday, with moderate risk for damaging winds across most of eastern New York, Western Mass and Vermont during the day Tuesday.
The stormy weather is forecast to continue on Sunday and Monday after a cooler and drier Friday and Saturday.
