[Weather] NWS Boston Emergency Management Briefing - Potential Severe Storms This Afternoon/Evening

[BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account]

Good morning everyone,

This afternoon and early evening there is the risk for strong to severe
thunderstorms across portions of southern New England.  Here are the
details...

*What ... *potential scattered strong to severe thunderstorms with damaging
winds, large hail and a low probability of an isolated tornado

*Where ... *greatest threat is across Connecticut with lower probabilities
into MA and RI

*When ... *approximately 3 pm to 9 pm

*Forecast Confidence ... *there is uncertainty on how far north the threat
of severe weather exists. As of now it appears the greatest risk is across
the state of Connecticut, however strong to severe storms may spill into
southwest Massachusetts including the Greater Springfield area and eastward
into southwest RI, including the Westerly area.  Conversely, cool air over
northern MA may shift the threat of severe weather farther south and spare
much of southern New England. Stay tuned to later forecasts for updated
trends.  This email will be updated one more time later this morning or
early afternoon.

Attached are four graphics highlighting the threat areas for damaging
winds, large hail and tornadoes.
