[rmacedo at rcn.com]

Hello to all... 

..Isolated to Scattered Strong to Possibly Severe Thunderstorms possible today in Eastern New England from early this afternoon through early this evening. Strong to damaging winds, hail, frequent lightning and heavy rainfall with urban and poor drainage flooding are the main threats. The Storm Prediction Center (SPC) has placed portions of Eastern New England in a marginal risk for severe weather today.. 
..SKYWARN Self-Activation is likely to monitor today's severe weather potential. Ops at NWS Taunton are possible depending on the coverage of any strong to severe thunderstorms.. 

Yesterday brought a round of strong to severe thunderstorms to Southern New England with hail as the main severe weather mode and isolated wind damage reports noted as well. The Local Storm Report from yesterday, the WX1BOX report log and Facebook Photo Album on yesterday's severe weather can be seen below:

For today, the front that caused yesterday's severe weather has stalled over Eastern New England. There is a cold pool of air aloft that remains and sufficient sun for heating and destabilization with sufficiently strong winds aloft. Moisture, however, will be drying as we go through the day and can likely limit the coverage of strong to severe thunderstorms. Nonetheless, isolated to scattered strong to possibly severe thunderstorms are possible today in Eastern New England. The timeframe is from early this afternoon through early this evening. 

SKYWARN Self-Activation is likely to monitor today's severe weather potential. Ops at NWS Taunton are possible depending on the coverage of any strong to severe thunderstorms. This will likely be the only coordinaton message on this storm unless Ops are initiated and time allows for an update.
