Multiple rounds of showers and thunderstorms, some of which will have the potential to become severe, will track through eastern New York and western New England today. Particularly for Ulster County, an initial round of light to moderate showers and potential non- severe thunderstorms will occur this morning before the probability for heavier downpours and potential severe thunderstorms increases for this afternoon. Should a thunderstorm reach severe strength, damaging wind gusts will be the primary threat. However, an isolated tornado and large hail cannot be ruled out. The greatest probability of severe thunderstorms for Ulster County falls between 2 PM and 10 PM this evening, but showers and additional non-severe thunderstorms could linger as late as 2 AM tomorrow morning. Outside of this convection, there are Air Quality Alerts in effect throughout the day due to smoke drifting into the area from wildfires in Canada. .REST OF TODAY...
