[Weather] [2023.06.13 PM] NWS Boston EM Briefing: Scattered Strong to Isolated Severe Thunderstorms Possible Wednesday Afternoon

[BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account]

Good afternoon,

Scattered thunderstorms are expected to develop Wednesday afternoon across
Southern New England, with a somewhat greater chance north and west of
Interstate I-95. A few of these storms may produce sporadic, isolated
instances of severe weather, indicated in the dark green area on the
attached severe weather graphic.

The main risk is from isolated downed trees & powerlines produced by
thunderstorm wind gusts between 40 to 60 mph. Up to 1 inch diameter
hailstones are possible, but it is a secondary risk and the majority should
remain below 1 inch in diameter. Localized downpours are possible
underneath any thunderstorm, which may produce urban/street flooding if
persistent thunderstorms develop over urban or poor drainage areas; however
overall risk for flooding is low.

An anticipated timing is between 2 to 9 pm Wednesday, particularly during
the mid to late afternoon hours.

Expect our next update to this briefing by 600 AM Wednesday morning.

Thank You!

Meteorologists: Andrew Loconto, Torry Gaucher and Kyle Pederson
