...Several Rounds of Severe Thunderstorms Today..

An unusual confluence of high levels of moisture, wind shear, and
a strong forcing mechanism are supporting an enhanced risk of
severe thunderstorms across the North Country today. Isolated to
scattered thunderstorms are expected to start firing after 12 PM
with more numerous thunderstorms possible from convective lines of
thunderstorms through 9 PM. Strong, gusty winds in excess of 60
miles per hour and a few tornadoes are the primary threats today.
The risk of hail and flash flooding are also present, but not as
high of a threat as damaging winds or tornadoes.

Downed trees may lead to scattered power outages. Should tornadoes
form, be ready to act and go to a basement or interior of a sturdy
structure. Those in mobile homes should seek safer shelter.

Best advice is to have multiple ways to receive our alerts and be
ready to act in case a warning is issued for your location.
