Hello to all…

..A round of showers and thunderstorms will affect the region overnight into Monday Morning and could cause flooding of urban and poor drainage areas. The threat for severe weather potential with that activity is low. In addition, some strong wind gusts to 40 MPH particularly in Southeast Coastal New England outside of any thunderstorms may cause isolated pockets of tree, wire damage and isolated power outages..

..A cold front will then approach Southern New England Monday Afternoon and Evening setting the stage for the potential of isolated to scattered strong to severe thunderstorms Monday Afternoon and Evening from 2-8 PM in Western, Central and interior Northeast Massachusetts, Connecticut and Northwest RI essentially from the I-95 corridor north and west. Strong to damaging winds, hail, frequent lightning and heavy downpours leading to urban and poor drainage flooding to flash flooding are the main threats..

..The Storm Prediction Center (SPC) has a Marginal risk for severe weather Monday Afternoon and Evening in Western, Central and interior Northeast Massachusetts, Connecticut and Northwest RI essentially from the I-95 corridor north and west. Severe weather potential is contingent on enough clearing for sufficient heating and destabilization after Sunday Night/Monday Morning activity and/or the ability of sufficiently strong wind shear to compensate for potentially limited instability..

..SKYWARN Self-Activation with Amateur Radio Call-Up Nets are possible Monday for severe weather and flash flood potential. 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. Another coordination message will be posted by 11 AM Monday Morning. Below is the NWS Boston/Norton Area Forecast Discussion, Enhanced Hazardous Weather Outlook and SPC Day-2 Convective Outlook..
