As the cold front pushed through Southern New England today, this will set the stage for Isolated to Scattered Strong to Possibly Severe Thunderstorms for late Thursday Morning through early Thursday Evening. The greatest threat is in Central and Eastern New England and especially in Rhode Island and Southeast Massachusetts. There will be sufficient wind shear profiles over the area but cloud cover may inhibit heating and destabilization over the area. Heavy Rainfall with urban and poor drainage flooding to possibly flash flooding and strong to damaging winds are the primary threat with activity today in a timeframe from 11 AM-600 PM.
Looking towards Friday through Sunday, the annual American Radio Relay League (ARRL) Amateur Radio Field Day weekend, indications remain for a sunny and gorgeous weekend with little to no threat for thunderstorms and also low humidity. Temperatures will be in the 80s. Amateur Radio Field Day Coordination Messages will likely be issued Thursday Evening and Friday and if no significant weather threat for thunderstorms exists, there will be no need to issue any over the weekend.
SKYWARN Activation with Ops at NWS will commence at 1000 AM today for this activity. This will be the last coordination message on today’s severe weather potential. Below is the NWS Taunton Hazardous Weather Outlook:
