[Weather] NWS Boston EM Briefing - Strong to Severe Thunderstorms This Afternoon

[BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account]

Good morning everyone,

Risk for scattered strong to severe thunderstorms this afternoon continues.
No major changes were made with this update.

*Where*
All of southern New England but the greatest threat across CT, RI and
southeast MA.

*Threats*
Damaging wind gusts, large hail and heavy downpours

*When*
Noon to 8 PM

*Confidence *
Confidence is above average for at least a few strong to severe
thunderstorms.  However there is uncertainty if the severe storms will be
more widespread.  For example, will storms organize into a squall line and
impact a larger area?  At the very least we are expecting a few strong to
severe storms.

*Attachments *
SPC has kept southern New England in a slight risk, which indicates the
potential for scattered strong to severe storms. If confidence increases on
more widespread severe weather SPC may increase the risk from slight to
enhanced.  Also attached is a model radar simulation (not to be exact)
indicating how storms may evolve this afternoon. The loop begins at 11 am
and ends at 8 pm.
