Severe Weather Coordination Message #1 – Friday PM/Evening 7/10/26 Severe Weather Potential

Hello to all…

..While most areas may remain dry and are unlikely to see a strong or severe thunderstorm, an isolated strong to severe thunderstorm cannot be ruled out across Southern New England Friday Afternoon and Evening. The greatest potential may line up along and south of the Mass Pike. The Storm Prediction Center (SPC) has the region in a general risk for thunderstorms which means most to perhaps all thunderstorms will be “garden variety” with heavy rainfall, potentially causing brief urban and poor drainage flooding and frequent lightning but we can’t rule out an isolated strong or severe thunderstorm with strong to damaging winds and hail in addition to heavy rainfall and frequent lightning. The timing appears to be from roughly 1-9 PM this Friday PM and Evening..

..SKYWARN Self-Activation with Amateur Radio-Call Up Nets will monitor any severe weather potential this Friday PM and Evening. Pictures and videos of wind damage, hail, flooding etc. can be sent as a reply to this email, via our Facebook/X/Bluesky feeds or the email address pics@nsradio.org with credit given to the spotter unless otherwise indicated. This will be the only coordination message as we shift into monitoring/operations mode. Below is the NWS Boston/Norton Area Forecast Discussion and Enhanced Hazardous Weather Outlook..
