The shifting weather from extreme heat of this week to heavy rainfall beginning Wednesday night is extending to Thursday and into Friday, said NY Governor Kathy Hochul on Wednesday in a press release. Trees began falling over in Beacon and Newburgh by early Wednesday evening.

Governor Hochul has directed State agencies to prepare for heavy rain and the potential for localized flooding as parts of the state are forecast to be impacted by periods of heavy rain, which includes the Mid-Hudson region (Dutchess, Orange, Putnam, Rockland, Sullivan, Ulster, and Westchester.)

These regions could see over 3 inches of rain again beginning Thursday and is expected to be a "slow moving weather event with the most severe impacts occurring where the storm ultimately sets up,” the release said. Cooler temperatures and lower levels of humidity are expected, however.

“State agencies are on standby for heavy downpours and localized flooding and will be monitoring the situation in real-time to ensure the safety of all New Yorkers in the path of the storm," said Governor Hochul.

Residents are encouraged to get weather alerts for their county by texting 333111 and typing in their county name. Weather alerts can be found at alerts.weather.gov.
