Severe weather is a good possibility today, on top of what has already happened. The combination of high amounts of low level moisture, strong sunshine and an approaching cold front will kick off a few more rounds of showers and thunderstorms across the region this afternoon.
I'm expecting two more rounds of showers and thunderstorms to develop today. One during the middle of the afternoon and then another during the evening hours. It looks like Western MA along with much of VT and NH will be under the bulls'eye today These are the areas that have already had some rain this morning, which has added even more moisture to the atmosphere. The Storm Prediction Center has put the region under a "Slight" risk for severe thunderstorms today. I'm expecting that some locations will be under a Severe Thunderstorm Watch this afternoon, if not a Tornado Watch. A Tornado Watch might be overkill, but conditions might be favorable enough for a few weak tornadoes to develop. If not, there will likely be some rotation in some of the stronger storms today. The biggest threats however for today are large hail and gusty winds.
So just be careful this afternoon if you are going to be outside. Keep an eye and ear to the sky and keep tabs on your favorite local new station.

Work comes first however. :-)
After today our weather will be much cooler and drier into the start of the upcoming weekend. Sorry about change in blog today, I had a long one all typed out and then had browser problems and lost it all.
Thanks for reading!
