... Strong to possibly severe thunderstorms possible this
afternoon across much of southern New England...
A cold front moving south from central New England will provide
the focus for scattered thunderstorms to develop this afternoon.
Some of the storms may produce strong damaging wind gusts and
hail... in addition to lightning and heavy rainfall.
Scattered thunderstorms are expected to develop between 1 PM and
4 PM across most of Massachusetts... northern Connecticut and
northern Rhode Island... especially near the Mass Pike.
If you have outdoor plans... have a safe place to go to if
thunderstorms approach... such as a vehicle or inside a home or
building. Remember... if you can hear thunder you are close
enough to be struck by lightning.
Stay tuned to NOAA all hazards radio or your local media for
updated information.
