Hello to all…

..Strong Wind Gusts likely across portions of Rhode Island and Eastern Massachusetts late Tuesday AM to Tuesday Evening. Also, while the main threat for severe thunderstorms will be across Northern New England, an isolated strong to severe thunderstorm with strong to damaging winds, hail, frequent lightning and heavy rainfall can’t be ruled out for portions of Northwest Massachusetts..
..A Wind Advisory is in effect from 12 PM to 10 PM Tuesday for Essex, Central and Southeast Middlesex, Suffolk, Norfolk, Bristol, Plymouth Counties of Massachusetts and all of Rhode Island except Northwest Providence County RI and Block Island RI for sustained winds of 15-30 MPH with gusts up to 50 MPH. Areas outside of the Wind Advisory could see wind gusts around 40 MPH. These winds could cause isolated pockets of tree, wire damage and power outages..
..SKYWARN Self-Activation will monitor the strong wind gusts and isolated wind damage potential across the entire area and any isolated severe weather potential for Northwest Massachusetts. This will be the only coordination message for this event unless a significant upgrade to the situation occurs and time allows for an update.
