A round of severe storms is expected to move through southern New England on Saturday, bringing threats of damaging wind gusts, flooding, hail, and even a tornado in Massachusetts.
The highest risk for severe storms is across western Massachusetts, Worcester County, and the Merrimack Valley, according to the National Weather Service.
Boston 25 News Meteorologist Tucker Antico warned that the peak of the storms is expected between 2 p.m. and 8 p.m.
