Good morning,

We wanted to provide an update regarding the potential for scattered severe thunderstorms and hot, humid conditions on Thursday. Attached you will find our one-pager briefing and supplemental graphics. 

Severe Thunderstorms: The greatest risk for severe storms is between 4 PM and 10 PM, primarily across interior southern New England. The main threat is damaging straight-line wind gusts, with large hail and a brief tornado as a secondary threat. In addition, localized torrential downpours may result in street flooding, especially in urban areas.

Heat and Humidity: Heat and humidity will peak during the early to mid-afternoon, with heat index values in the upper 90s to lower 100s. As a result, a Heat Advisory has been issued for northern Connecticut, northern Rhode Island, and much of Massachusetts, excluding the Berkshires, south coast, and Cape/Islands.

The next forecast update will be issued by 3 PM this afternoon.

Please reach out if you have any questions or need further details.

Meteorologists: Torry Dooley, Kyle Pederson, and Andrew Loconto
