Strong to isolated damaging winds, hail, frequent lightning and heavy downpours with urban and poor drainage flooding are the main threats. An impulse in the atmosphere with cold temperatures aloft will allow for this development of scattered strong and isolated severe thunderstorms today..
..SKYWARN Self-Activation will monitor the strong to isolated severe thunderstorm potential for this Friday Afternoon and Evening. This will be the only coordination message as we shift into operations mode. Below is the NWS Boston/Norton Area Forecast Discussion and Enhanced Hazardous Weather Outlook..
