Hello to all..

Strong to Damaging Winds, Hail and urban and poor drainage flooding are the primary threats..
..SKYWARN Activation with Ops at NWS Taunton will commence between 1 and 2 PM lasting through early evening..

At 1035 AM, Doppler Radar showed scattered showers and thunderstorms over portions of Southern New Hampshire and Northern Massachusetts moving east. Additional thunderstorm development is expected later this afternoon and evening with the potential for isolated to scattered strong to severe thunderstorms possible with strong to damaging winds, hail and urban and poor drainage flooding as the primary threats. The threat timeframe will be from 1-7 PM today. Satellite imagery shows sufficient clearing for heating and destablization and this will allow the formation for additional thunderstorms as heating continues.
