After a hot one across New York on Saturday, portions of the state saw severe weather on Sunday.

Much of that is concentrated in Central New York where community members are on the lookout for potential flooding overnight.

Unfortunately, severe weather events like this are becoming more and more common.

On Friday, Gov. Kathy Hochul addressed concerns when it comes to extreme weather and how the state is preparing for it.

Her office says since last year, the state has broken 49 high temperature and 19 snowfall records, in addition to enduring 38 tornadoes and weathered Tropical Storms Beryl and Debby.

The governor says the state is investing millions in emergency response and preparedness efforts.

Among the investments the state is touting including launching the state Weather Risk Communication Center at UAlbany and investing more than $25 million to expand regional presence of State Emergency Management staff and response assets.

"And here's the situation: Don't even call it extreme weather anymore, this is weather," Hochul said. "This is the normal weather that we're experiencing, and it's a shame. This was forecasted by thought leaders decades ago, that if mankind didn't stop its assault on Mother Nature, there'd be revenge. Well, Mother Nature is getting her revenge now and that's what we're dealing with. It grows more destructive every single year"

The state Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services has launched a new text alert system for emergency and weather alerts.
