Severe Weather Coordination Message #1 – Monday PM & Evening 8/12/24 Strong Thunderstorm Potential

Hello to all…

..Convective showers and isolated strong thunderstorms are possible this afternoon and evening across Southern New England this Monday afternoon and evening between around 1-8 PM. Strong winds, small hail, frequent lightning and brief heavy downpours with brief urban/poor drainage flooding are the main threats. While an isolated marginally severe thunderstorm cannot be ruled out completely, sub-severe criteria hail and strong winds are what most likely will occur today..
..SKYWARN Self-Activation will monitor for any hail, strong winds, wind damage, rain gauge reports in the region. This will be the only coordination message for this event. Pictures and videos of storm damage from the events over the next couple days or prior events in the previous two days can be sent as a reply to this message, via our WX1BOX Facebook and Twitter feeds and to the email address pics@nsradio.org with credit given to the spotter unless otherwise indicated. Below is the NWS Boston/Norton Area Forecast Discussion and Enhanced Hazardous Weather Outlook..
