No active hail or wind alerts are posted for New York right now, and there are no notable events to flag. The SPC discussions you provided focus severe risk well outside NY—mainly the Upper Midwest, northeast South Dakota, west-central Minnesota, and parts of the Ozarks/Arkansas corridor—with hail up to 1.5–2.5 inches, wind gusts around 55–70 mph, and even a tornado threat in the most unstable area; none of that analysis points to a current NY-specific threat.
Statewide maxima from SPC verified reports and NWS warnings, last 12 months. Tornado EF ratings are assigned by NWS survey teams after ground surveys and published in NOAA's final storm records.

How New York compares nationally
Ranked by SPC verified storm reports (wind, hail, tornado) across all 50 states over the last 12 months. Severity-weighted index scores each report by hazard (tornado ×20, hail ×4, wind ×1) so a single derecho's flood of wind reports doesn't outweigh tornado outbreaks. Recalculated daily as of Sep 11, 2026.
