Why cloudy skies and what is to be expected when the clouds disappear?
When hazard advisories are posted severe weather alerts must be posted to prepare the public on what to expect. The National Weather Service is undergoing the severe weather awareness week and has partnered with New York agencies to promote safety preparedness for all.
When thunderstorms produce wind gust what must New Yorkers do to prepare for the Thailand winds of 58 mph? First, New Yorkers must understand the clouds and the Flash Floods when water is at a rapid rise within a six hour time span. The most common cause of flash flooding is downpours associated with thunderstorms.

Prepare now for the time is near starting in the month of May. Watch travel alerts and listen to the radio and television reports.
