Good Morning Everyone, Attached is a one-page briefing on the potential for a few severe thunderstorms later this afternoon and this evening. This is not expected to be a widespread event, and should only impact a few communities, mainly in western Massachusetts and western Connecticut. As noted in the briefing, there is uncertainty as to how warm it will get today across interior southern New England. The chances for severe thunderstorms will be higher if temperatures can reach the low to mid 80s. We do not expect severe weather closer to the coast where temperatures will be much cooler today. This will be the only briefing on this event, but we may send a quick e-mail update by early this afternoon if there are any changes to our current expectations.
