[Weather] [2022.08.09 AM] NWS Boston EM Briefing: Isolated Severe Risk and Oppressive Heat Today

[BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account]

Good morning,

Oppressive heat and humidity will continue today with heat indices again
expected to reach the mid 90s to lower 100s. Heat Advisories remain in
effect through 800 PM today. There remains high confidence that today will
be the last day of this stretch of oppressive heat and humidity.

In addition, isolated severe thunderstorms are possible in Southern New
England between 2 and 10 PM today. As described in the attached graphic,
areas along and south of the Massachusetts Turnpike have the greatest risk
to experience strong to isolated severe thunderstorms. Localized damaging
straight-line winds is the main severe weather risk, but torrential rain
and frequent lightning can be expected in thunderstorms. Organized severe
weather is not anticipated. While confidence in the area where storms may
develop is rated as moderate to high, confidence in the potential for
severe weather is low to moderate and it is possible that storms remain at
sub-severe levels.

Unless there are significant changes to either the oppressive heat forecast
and/or the severe thunderstorm forecast, expect this to be the final
briefing regarding both hazards.

Thank You!

Meteorologists: Andrew Loconto and Rodney Chai
