Severe Weather & Heat Coordination Message #1 – Wednesday 6/25/25 Heat & Severe Weather Potential
Hello to all…
..One more day of intense heat and humidity for Southern New England but not as brutal as what was experienced Monday into Tuesday. A summary of 100+ degree readings from Amateur Radio and non-Amateur Radio SKYWARN Spotters can be seen below..
..A cold front moving through the area may bring isolated strong to severe thunderstorms to the area during the mid-afternoon into early evening. Coverage is expected to be isolated and only a few areas may experience that activity. Strong to damaging winds, hail, frequent lightning and heavy rainfall with brief urban and poor drainage flooding are the main threats. This front will bring an end to the heat and humidity for the region..
..A Heat Advisory is in effect through 7 PM Wednesday Evening for Northern Connecticut, Rhode Island except for Block Island, Essex, Middlesex, Southern Worcester, Suffolk, Norfolk, Bristol and Plymouth Counties of Massachusetts for heat indices of around 100 degrees. Use caution if outdoors in the heat for any extended period of time, take frequent breaks going into Air Conditioning if working outdoors and stay hydrated..
..SKYWARN Self-Activation with Amateur Radio Call-Up Nets will be done as needed for any strong to severe thunderstorms that can develop this Wednesday Afternoon into early evening. Pictures and videos of storm damage, hail, and flooding can be sent as a reply to this email, via our WX1BOX Facebook, X and Bluesky feeds or to the email address pics@nsradio.org with credit given to the spotter unless otherwise indicated..
