[Weather] [05.16.2025 PM] NWS Boston/Norton: Thunderstorms This evening and Saturday

[BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account]

Good afternoon,

Here is the latest briefing for potential severe weather over the next day
and a half.

There remains a chance for an isolated thunderstorm or two this evening
across far western Massachusetts but the main concern for severe weather is
Saturday. Confidence in the area that is most likely to see severe weather
on Saturday has increased since the last update. While most of southern New
England will have a chance to see severe storms, the highest risk will be
across western areas of Massachusetts and Connecticut. There may be an
initial round of storms Saturday morning, but these are expected to remain
below severe limits. The main risk for scattered severe storms arrives
later in the day with the potential for thunderstorm activity anytime
between 2 and  10pm. Confidence in the severe weather potential and timing
for Saturday is rated as moderate - as cloud cover and possible
showers/embedded thundershowers early in the morning could affect the
afternoon severe weather risk.

Thank You!

Meteorologists: Hayden Frank, Caitlyn Mensch, and Francis Tarasiewicz
