Severe thunderstorms flashed across New England Saturday, prompting warnings in central and western Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Maine and Connecticut.
Today is a day to stay weather aware as more severe thunderstorms will develop Saturday afternoon and will head towards Boston by the evening.
Much of the early part of the day stayed dry, with a couple of showers around, a gusty southwest breeze and temps around 80 under sunshine.
The South Coast, Cape Cod and islands will stay pretty cloudy and cool. This more stable airmass means they don’t see any severe storms Saturday.
But 2-10 p.m. is the timeframe that southern Vermont, New Hampshire and western Massachusetts were set to see severe storm chances. The storms develop ahead of a cold front and slowly sink southeast by the evening. They arrive in Boston 6-8 p.m.
Lightning and heavy rain is what most of us will see. Damaging wind is the biggest threat from any storm that quickly turns severe. Stay tuned for any watches or warnings today, and have a plan to seek shelter quickly if you hear thunder or see a developing storm in the distance at the ballpark.
The storms fizzle after sunset and as they head towards southern and southeastern Massachusetts around 8-10 p.m. Some showers are possible for everyone, along with fog and humid air overnight as temps stay in the 60s…
