NWS Boston EM Briefing - Strong to Severe Thunderstorms This Afternoon
by BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account 25 Aug '20

25 Aug '20

Good morning everyone, Risk for scattered strong to severe thunderstorms this afternoon continues. No major changes were made with this update. *Where* All of southern New England but the greatest threat across CT, RI and southeast MA. *Threats* Damaging wind gusts, large hail and heavy downpours *When* Noon to 8 PM *Confidence * Confidence is above average for at least a few strong to severe thunderstorms. However there is uncertainty if the severe storms will be more widespread. For example, will storms organize into a squall line and impact a larger area? At the very least we are expecting a few strong to severe storms. *Attachments * SPC has kept southern New England in a slight risk, which indicates the potential for scattered strong to severe storms. If confidence increases on more widespread severe weather SPC may increase the risk from slight to enhanced. Also attached is a model radar simulation (not to be exact) indicating how storms may evolve this afternoon. The loop begins at 11 am and ends at 8 pm.

NWS-Boston EM Briefing - Strong to Severe Thunderstorms Monday and Tuesday
by BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account 23 Aug '20

23 Aug '20

Hi everyone, Wanted to give you all a heads-up about the potential for strong to severe thunderstorms over the next couple of days. Monday -- will be similar to Saturday and Sunday, with scattered strong to severe thunderstorms. Not much rhyme or reason to where they will form. But any storm could produce heavy rain and strong wind gusts. Tuesday -- a strong cold front with much stronger winds aloft will be moving through. This means that there is a risk for more widespread and robust severe storms, with damaging winds and large hail (as well as heavy rain). -- Glenn Field Warning Coordination Meteorologist NWS - Norton, MA If you have any questions or would like more information, don't hesitate to contact us via this email address, on NWSChat <https://nwschat.weather.gov/>, or at the following: National Weather Service Boston/Norton, MA 46 Commerce Way Norton, MA 02766 508.622.3280 Website <http://www.weather.gov/boston> | Facebook <http://www.facebook.com/NWSBoston> | Twitter <http://www.twitter.com/NWSBoston>
