Increased heat and humidity Tuesday will provide fuel for strong to severe thunderstorms in New York and western Vermont by the late afternoon. After a sunny and dry morning, southerly winds will gust up to 30 MPH and warm the region well into the 70s and 80s. The air will become noticeably humid, especially in New York.Storms begin to fire around 3 PM across western areas, before progressing east toward the Champlain Valley during the evening commute. Cells should continue to trend weaker as they move further into Vermont, as daytime heating diminishes and the available thunderstorm fuel drops off.Localized damaging wind gusts (60+ MPH) are the main concern within the strongest cells, which could lead to scattered power outages this evening. This risk is highest in New York, though isolated outages are possible in Vermont. Lower, but non-zero, risks exist for large hail, flash flooding, and a brief/weak tornado. After a brief spike in humidity Tuesday afternoon, a cold front quickly ushers in drier, cooler air for Wednesday — highs fall back to the 50s with a mix of sun and clouds.
