Areas affected...east-central NY

Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 562...

Valid 082018Z - 082115Z

The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 562
continues.

SUMMARY...Isolated gusts 45-55 mph (locally 60 mph) capable of wind
damage will likely focus near Albany during the next 1-2 hours.

DISCUSSION...Radar imagery shows a squall line over central NY
moving east towards the lower Hudson Valley.  Instrument-measured
peak gusts from the NY Mesonet and ASOS have primarily ranged from
40-50 mph during the past few hours with the Groton, NY site
measuring 60 mph.  Surface temperatures are in the 80s with
dewpoints in the middle to upper 60s.  Current thinking is the risk
for strong gusts will continue (45-55 mph) will continue on an
isolated basis (resulting in wind damage) across east-central NY and
perhaps extend into western MA/CT by early evening.
