New York Severe Weather Hazard Profile

Climate-Adjusted Hazard Data · Model Version 1.0

Overview

New York experiences severe weather primarily in the form of thunderstorm winds, tornadoes (relatively infrequent compared to Plains states), and winter ice storms. NOAA Storm Events Database records show the highest concentration of severe weather reports in western and central New York. Lake-effect precipitation amplifies winter storm impacts in the Buffalo and Syracuse corridors.

Notable Historical Events

12014 Buffalo lake-effect snow — 88+ inches in 72 hours
22022 Buffalo winter storm — 47 fatalities, blizzard with zero visibility
32021 Tropical Storm Ida tornado — EF3 tornado in Mullica Hill NJ/southern NY metro region

Hazard Scoring Approach

CivilSense computes a Climate-Adjusted Hazard Score (0–10) for severe weather hazard at any US address. The score is composed of weighted sub-components derived from federal data sources and peer-reviewed research. All score components are transparent and returned in API responses.

These are hazard scores — physical intensity likelihood only. They do not include property exposure or vulnerability data. We never call a hazard score a risk score. See the full methodology for scoring details.
