The risk for severe weather has increased for later today. Temperatures will soar into the 90s before storms arrive. This is the latest timing.

This morning, the Storm Prediction Center has increased the risk for severe weather in the Hudson Valley to a level 3 out of 5 for areas in Rockland and Orange counties. This is the first time the "Enhanced" risk has been issued for the region so far this year.

The morning is dry and hot with temperatures soaring into the upper 80s and low 90s by noontime under a mix of sun and clouds. It will be humid which will fuel storms later this afternoon.

Storms will pop up as early as 2 p.m. or 3 p.m. with the greatest risk for storms between 5 p.m. and 8 p.m. Storms will be scattered which means a few neighborhoods will remain dry. Storms that develop will contain frequent lightning and produce localized flooding and the potential for wind damage. An isolated tornado cannot be ruled out. Tune into News12 throughout the day for the latest information. We will be live if any storms that pose a threat to life or property.
