Severe Thunderstorms Expected in New York and Vermont
Updated: April 29, 2025 | 6:24 AM EDT
A significant weather event is on the horizon as heavy thunderstorms are expected to develop late Tuesday afternoon in New York and western Vermont. Following a sunny and dry morning, southerly winds will bring increased heat and humidity, with temperatures rising into the 70s and 80s. This atmospheric shift is anticipated to fuel the formation of strong to severe thunderstorms by around 3 PM in western areas.
As the storms progress eastward toward the Champlain Valley during the evening commute, localized wind gusts exceeding 60 MPH may pose dangers, potentially leading to scattered power outages. While New York is expected to face the most severe impacts, isolated outages could also occur in Vermont. Additional risks include large hail, flash flooding, and the possibility of a brief, weak tornado.
Weather experts caution that as the thunderstorms advance, their intensity may wane due to diminishing daytime heating and available fuel. However, the primary concern remains the damaging winds associated with the strongest storm cells.
Following the thunderstorm activity, a cold front will sweep through, ushering in cooler, drier air with Wednesday’s high temperatures expected to plummet into the 50s, accompanied by a mix of sun and clouds.
Residents are urged to stay vigilant and prepared for potential severe weather conditions later today, particularly during the evening commute. Local authorities recommend reviewing safety protocols in case of power outages or other storm-related emergencies.
