Heat Preparedness

We continue to be looking at a period of excessive heat that we haven't seen around central NY or northeast Pa since 2011. NWS’s graphical Enhanced Hazardous Weather Outlook captures this well. Saturday and Monday will be bad, but Sunday is still looking to have the highest heat and humidity combination.

see: https://www.weather.gov/bgm/ehwo to view these heat potential graphics and other hazards.

NWS will start more formal briefings once they begin issuing heat advisories and/or excessive heat watches in the next day or two.

Again, safety and preparedness information is the key at this early juncture for your agencies and the general public. Now is the time to get this information out there. See links below:
