The city of Syracuse in New York has experienced temperatures of 90 degrees or higher eight times this month, and today and tomorrow are set to mark the ninth and tenth occurrences. The National Weather Service has issued Heat Advisories starting at noon for a significant portion of central New York, with the heat index possibly reaching up to 100 degrees.

The combination of dewpoint temperatures in the low 70s and high temperatures in the low 90s will make today and tomorrow feel excessively hot and humid for many residents. However, relief is expected later in the week with more favorable conditions.

Expect plenty of sunshine until mid-afternoon, with temperatures rising quickly into the upper 80s by late morning. A low-pressure system in the Great Lakes area will move fronts across New York early this week, leading to potential severe thunderstorms in the afternoons and evenings.

The forecast for Monday indicates a heightened risk for strong to severe thunderstorms after 5 pm. These thunderstorms are likely to bring strong wind gusts and heavy downpours, with a low possibility of tornado formation. The primary concern is for intensifying storms this evening that could cause damage by knocking over trees and breaking branches.

There is a chance for severe thunderstorms on Tuesday afternoon before transitioning into more pleasant weather to end the week. For the latest updates and to track the storms on live local radar, click HERE.
