Good evening everyone,
The SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH and FLASH FLOOD WATCH has been canceled.
For tonight into Thursday there is the continued risk of scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms with
embedded heavy downpours. Most of
the focus along south coastal New England with a lower risk of nuisance flooding as there is the potential for rainfall rates of 1 to 2 inches per hour.
It is entirely possible that the threat may end up completely south of our area. Confident it will remain at least south of the Massachusetts Turnpike.
We'll have an updated briefing package prior to 6 am Thursday, July 18th should our forecast thinking change, as well as an update on the heat and humidity for Friday through Sunday outlined below.
