Unsettled Sunday... Continues into Monday

After a beautiful Saturday... we'll have a frontal trough pushing into the eastern part of the country. It will spread clouds and scattered rain showers into NY and the Northeast. The scattered showers should reach the Hudson Valley between 12pm and 6pm... earlier west of the Hudson River. The precipitation shield looks to be disorganized and weak... so the showers should be mainly light and scattered in nature. The scattered rain showers could also contain a rumble or two of thunder... but we do not currently expect any storms to become severe. The clouds and scattered showers will keep temperatures in the upper 70s to near 80° for highs.

The clouds & scattered rain showers will be with us through much of the evening hours, before the precipitation moves to our south and east. It's possible that another band of scattered showers and T-Storms develops Monday afternoon, something that will need to be monitored. Highs on Monday should climb into the low and mid 80s.

Make sure you keep the umbrella handy for the afternoon hours, as the moisture gradually creeps in from west to east. We'll share updates as appropriate... Have a great day!

As Todd says in this post, don’t let the sunshine fool you today. Please take a look at this forecast. You don’t want to get caught out on the river when this system hits. Weather can change in an instant on the river, leaving you without enough time to get to safety.

Stay safe out there. As always, we’re standing by to assist you if needed.

Afternoon severe thunderstorms ⛈️ with a humid high of 85°

Don’t let the sunshine ☀️ fool you, scattered thunderstorms ⛈️ are developing to our west for our afternoon. The sunshine is actually helping make the atmosphere unstable, making for severe thunderstorms.

We are tracking a steady start to our Friday with temperatures currently climbing through the 70°s .. However, you’ll want to keep the umbrella ☔️ close again as we move into the afternoon hours.

We are anticipating severe thunderstorms ⛈️ just like yesterdays severe storms .. starting around 3pm near Delaware and Sullivan counties and moving east/northeast like yesterday across the remaining HVW area. All of the HVW area will experience scattered storms today.

Severe storms with the potential for strong gusty winds of 22 - 35+ mph, small hail, frequent lightning ⚡️, and isolated downpours with flooding possible again like yesterday. And yes, there’s the possibility of power outages again and I noticed this morning, there were still some couple of hundred people without power in our area from yesterdays severe storms.

Scattered storms will persist through the evening before we transition to cloudy skies by 2am Saturday morning.

If you are attending the Ulster County Fair today, please keep an eye onto the severe weather coming and seek shelter immediately, don’t wait until it’s too late. Being outdoors in a severe weather event is not good. This also goes for anyone camping ⛺️ or out on the water .. seek safe harbor immediately. Check the weather before you head out and plan accordingly.

Hope everyone makes out ok .. Please check back for the latest weather and radar updates.

Be safe,
-Todd

Every once in a while you get an opportunity to really make a difference. These two scouts needed sea time to complete their motor boating merit badge. And Colton’s daycare was closed for the week. So we decided to kill two birds with one stone. The scouts learned how to tie knots, identify emergency equipment, navigate using electronics, and even towed a boat in distress. Colton learned what daddy does when he’s in daycare and had a bunch of snacks on the river without breaking a sweat. What a life.

Thank you Hudson Valley Weather!

Hudson River boaters please beware of large debris when you take to the water this weekend. It will take many tide cycles for our beautiful river to clear the debris.

We’re going to get a lot of rain over the next few days. 2-5” of rain will test your bilge pumps and your batteries.

Please check on your boats to make sure bilge pumps are on and plugged into shore power if it’s available.

If your boat sinks at the dock, we have the tools and expertise to recover it. But, we would rather share some tips on preventing that loss.

Stay dry everyone!
