15 May '20

Hi Everyone, We have added Suffolk and Norfolk Counties in eastern Massachusetts (including Boston) and Providence County in Rhode Island to the Tornado Watch, which is in effect until 10 PM. The greatest threat for damaging winds and perhaps a tornado is in northeast Massachusetts, but there is the potential for damaging winds into metro Boston and northern Rhode Island. The line of storms will begin to weaken as it approaches Providence, RI and Hull, MA.
