SEVERE WEATHER OUTLOOK
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBANY NY
1220 PM EDT WED JUN 26 2002

...THERE IS A RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND
THIS EVENING IN EASTERN NEW YORK AND ADJACENT WESTERN NEW ENGLAND...

THE FOLLOWING AREAS HAVE THE POTENTIAL FOR GETTING SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS...THE SOUTHERN ADIRONDACKS...THE EASTERN MOHAWK
VALLEY...THE LAKE GEORGE SARATOGA REGION...THE GREATER CAPITAL
REGION...THE EASTERN CATSKILLS...THE MID HUDSON VALLEY...SOUTHERN
VERMONT...THE BERKSHIRES...AND LITCHFIELD COUNTY CONNECTICUT.

SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS PRODUCE WIND GUSTS OF 58 MPH AND GREATER...AND
OR HAIL THREE QUARTERS OF AN INCH IN DIAMETER OR GREATER.

THE PRIMARY THREAT OF SEVERE WEATHER WILL BE STRONG GUSTY WINDS.
FREQUENT LIGHTNING AND HEAVY DOWNPOURS WILL ALSO OCCUR WITH THE
THUNDERSTORMS. A FEW SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS COULD CONTAIN LARGE HAIL.

THE ATMOSPHERE WILL BE EXTREMELY UNSTABLE WITH AN ABUNDANCE OF LOW
LEVEL MOISTURE THIS AFTERNOON. AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE MOVING
THROUGH CENTRAL NEW YORK THIS AFTERNOON WILL HELP TO TRIGGER THE
DEVELOPMENT OF THUNDERSTORMS...WHICH COULD THEN BECOME SEVERE.

STAY TUNED TO NOAA WEATHER RADIO...THE VOICE OF THE NATIONAL WEATHER
SERVICE...FOR FURTHER DETAILS OR UPDATES.
