[Weather] [2020-03-20 AM] NWS Boston EM Briefing for Severe Storm Potential Friday Afternoon & Evening

[BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account]

Good morning everyone,

The forecast remains largely the same. A cold front will slide in from the
west this afternoon and into the evening. Ahead of the front, a few severe
thunderstorms may develop. Little if any lightning is expected with these
storms. The biggest threat would be from damaging winds.

There is also potential for a coastal storm to impact southern New England
Monday into Tuesday with accumulating snow possible. Details on that will
come into focus over the weekend.

*What:*

   -  A few severe thunderstorms are possible with the main threats of:
      - Damaging Wind Gusts
      - Heavy Downpours
      - Low risk of a tornado

*When and Where:*

   - Friday afternoon and into the evening. Roughly between 4-8 PM.
      - Between 4-6 PM western MA and CT
      - Between 6-8 PM RI and eastern MA if storms hold together

*Uncertainty:*

   - Showers may develop during the morning into the early afternoon, which
   could inhibit storms from becoming strong

The graphics attached are the severe thunderstorm outlook for southern New
England for March 20, 2020, hazards expected, and a reminder of the SPC
Severe Weather Outlook definitions.

Thank you
