[Weather] [2019.08.21 AM] Scattered strong to severe thunderstorms possible this afternoon/evening

[BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account]

Good morning.

There is a potential for severe thunderstorms this afternoon across all of
Southern New England.

*WHAT/WHEN:*

   - Scattered strong to severe thunderstorms with the main risk from 2 to
   10 pm.

*WHERE:*

   - All of southern New England is at risk, but the greatest risk is north
   and west of the Boston to Providence corridor.

*POTENTIAL IMPACTS:*

   - Damaging wind gusts are the primary threat. Large hail is a secondary
   threat.
   - Low risk for an isolated tornado
   - Torrential downpours with any strong storms will result in a localized
   flash flood threat
   - Dangerous cloud to ground lightning will pose a risk to those with
   outdoor activities, including mariners and beach goers.

*UNCERTAINTY:*

   - A few showers or thunderstorms are moving into Western CT and Western
   MA this morning. A second round of thunderstorms is expected this
   afternoon.  If the clouds from this morning's thunderstorms linger they may
   diminish the ability for the afternoon storms to form.  If clearing
   develops fast, the severe weather risk would increase.
