[Weather] [2024.06.21 AM] NWS Boston Briefing: Strong to Locally Severe Storms this Afternoon

[BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account]

Good morning everyone,

Please find a briefing attached regarding the threat for locally severe
storms this afternoon. The threat for storms is greatest between 1PM and 8
PM this evening. As we saw last night, storms are expected to rapidly
weaken after sunset.

Aerial coverage of storms will be greatest west of I-495; this includes
Rhode Island, Connecticut, and central and western Massachusetts.

While it is difficult to pinpoint which areas will receive the greatest
amount of rain due to the convective nature of these storms, some
localities could see as much as 3" between 2 pm and 8 pm, and locally
higher amounts possible, of rain in near stationary storms. This could
introduce an urban and flash flooding threat should storms set up
over places like Providence, Hartford, or Springfield.

We expect similar conditions both Saturday and Sunday afternoon, so while
this will be the only briefing regarding THIS afternoon, later shifts may
elect to send out similar briefings Saturday and Sunday morning.

Kind regards,

Kristie Smith and Frank Nocera
