Hello to all..

..A Severe Weather Outbreak resulted in pockets of wind damage, hail, and flooding across portions of Southern New Hampshire, Western, Central, and Northeast Massachusetts and Northern Connecticut Thursday Afternoon and Evening. Those with damage and/or hail photos may send them to pics@nsradio.org and the photos will be shared with the media, emergency management and the National Weather Service. The Local Storm Report from this outbreak appears below..
..The Focus will now shift to Hurricane Arthur and Cold Frontal Interaction resulting in heavy rainfall. A closer storm track means Tropical Storm force winds will reach Cape Cod and Nantucket Island where a Tropical Storm Warning is now in effect for Cape Cod from Provincetown to Chatham and Nantucket Island. A complete coordination message updating the situation will be posted by 11 AM Friday Morning. This coordination message is shortened due to handling of the severe weather outbreak Thursday with a 14 hour operation at WX1BOX, the Amateur Radio Station at NWS Taunton. Below are the NWS Taunton Products regarding Thursday Afternoon and Evening’s Severe Weather Outbreak as well as Hurricane Arthur Information..
