NY State Weather Risk Communication Center

Busy weather day today (Sunday, June 14, 2026). Here’s the latest, all in one place. ⤵️

Today marks the first day of 2026 that a New York State Mesonet station has reached 90F or greater, with numerous stations reaching this threshold. Furthermore, tomorrow looks just as warm. Approximately one in three NYers are under a "Major" risk-level in the NWS HeatRisk product. Early season heat is often more impactful because our bodies have not yet acclimated to summertime weather.

Your cloud based on your birth month! ☁️

Happy Earth Day from the State Weather Risk Communication Center! Earth sure is hard to predict sometimes, but we love her!

It's been busy lately! Here's a map of National Weather Service-issued tornado, severe thunderstorm, and flood-themed warnings over the last day or so.

Also shown are hail, severe wind, and flood reports. Those may change as more reports or NWS surveys filter in.

Today we are at the State Preparedness Training Center to teach our 3rd microcredential course on weather interpretation!

These two maps may look very similar, but they're highlighting two different hazards for today and tonight.

The map on the left shows the National Weather Service risk of severe thunderstorms, which is highest in western and central NY (level 2 of 5). The right map shows the risk of flash flooding, which unfortunately is also highest in western NY (level 2 of 4). This is the highest flash flooding threat of 2026 thus far.

Happy first day of spring, New Yorkers! 🌷 Though it seemed like a brutally cold winter, it was actually only slightly below-average compared to a 30-year average. While the Climate Prediction Center is predicting a colder than average end of March, a shift to above normal temperatures is possible in April. ☀️

With melting snow and ice, alongside some rain and warming temperatures, we're seeing numerous river rises leading to some flooding.

Did you know our website has a community statistics page that let's you see who and what is affected by various weather situations? It's at nyswrcc.org/community-stats

For instance, there's about 168K people & about 63K residential buildings in a National Weather Service-issued flood warning in NY right now.

Wondering if the snowfall reports are record breaking? We got you!

For the hardest hit counties, here's a list of the prior 1-day record, as well as the max snowfall report in each county today.

4 (!) counties have tentatively set new records, though they will need to be confirmed.
