Severe t'storms in NY

A segment of the line has intensified near south central NY. This segment has recently shown radar returns of over 50dBZ, and is bowing slightly indicating the potential for high winds. In addition, the cluster of showers and thunderstorms in Bennington County VT has strengthened, likely by orographic enhancement. Downsloping and loss of daytime heating will likely weaken these storms as they approach the area however.
