[Weather] [2019.08.08 PM] SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH till midnight

[BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account]

Greetings everyone,

A Severe Thunderstorm Watch has been issued for Western Massachusetts as
well as portions of Northern Connecticut. The Watch is in effect through 12
am. A graphic showing the watch area has been attached.

   - Main concern is strong to damaging winds associated with a sweeping
   line of storms out of Upstate NY, moving east at roughly 45 mph.
      - Numerous reports of downed trees and power lines with 40 to 50 mph
      gusts with this line west of Albany, NY.
   - Could see some discrete storms out ahead of the line which could be
   strong to severe.
   - With any and all activity torrential downpours can be expected which
   could contribute to localized flooding.

If you have any questions or would like more information, don't hesitate to
contact us via this email address or on NWSChat

Respectfully,
