...SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED OVER CONNECTICUT...WESTERN
MASSACHUSETTS AND SOUTHERN NEW HAMPSHIRE THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING...

A LINE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DEVELOPED OVER NEW YORK
STATE. THIS ACTIVITY WILL PUSH INTO SOUTHERN NEW HAMPSHIRE...
WESTERN MASSACHUSETTS AND CONNECTICUT BY EARLY AFTERNOON. THE MAIN
THREAT WITH THESE STORMS WILL BE STRONG DAMAGING WIND GUSTS TO
OVER 60 MPH. IN ADDITION...A SECOND CONCERN WILL BE THE POTENTIAL
FOR HAIL TO THE SIZE OF DIMES. SPOTTER ACTIVATION MAY BE NEEDED
IN THIS AREA AFTER 12 PM.

AS THE AFTERNOON PROGRESSES...THE ATMOSPHERE WILL BE COME MORE
UNSTABLE ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW HAMPSHIRE...WESTERN MASSACHUSETTS AND
CONNECTICUT. THEREFORE...MORE THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP
OVER THIS REGION AND SOME WILL BECOME SEVERE. IN ADDITION...WIND
PROFILES IN THE LOWEST SEVERAL THOUSAND FEET SHOW THE POTENTIAL FOR
SUPERCELL DEVELOPMENT. THEREFORE...A THUNDERSTORM OR TWO WILL BE
CAPABLE OF PRODUCING HAIL TO THE SIZE OF GOLF BALLS AND EVEN A
TORNADO.

EXPECT THESE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO EVOLVE INTO A COMPLEX
THIS EVENING AND TRACK ACROSS THE REMAINDER OF THE REGION. EVEN AS
THESE STORMS MOVE INTO THE COLDER AIR OVER THE EASTERN SECTIONS...
THEY STILL WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING HAIL TO THE SIZE OF DIMES.
ALSO...ANY THUNDERSTORM MAY PRODUCE TORRENTIAL RAINFALL AND LOCALIZED
FLOODING.
THIS IS A POTENTIALLY DANGER SITUATION...SO PLEASE STAY TUNED FOR
FURTHER UPDATES. SPOTTER ACTIVATION WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED OVER
WESTERN MASSACHUSETTS...CONNECTICUT AND SOUTHERN NEW HAMPSHIRE
AFTER 12 PM.


Good grief!
 
What thunderstorms? Looks like you need to keep watching the TV so you know when to take cover.
 
Iowa is having really bad flooding right now. My sister lives about 30 miles north of us, and is having it really bad. We've lucked out and it's all missed us.
 

:eek: And it figures that DH will be gone tonight and I HATE thunderstorms!!!!!

Thanks for the warning!! I'll run out in the rain right now and bring in a few plants!!..........P
 
I can confirm it. We've got a doozy rolling in over NY state right now.:rolleyes:

madi100, we did luck out, didn't we?

The poor town of Bradgate, Iowa was hit hard Friday night -- 30 of it's 40 homes were destroyed :(
 
that storm during the night was awesome.. I love thunderstorms (as long as they don't cause any damage!). My dog came up stairs when it started, all I could see was the top of his ears!! Tonight when it started thundering and lightning, he was following me around the house, he's hiding upstairs now, but it's over for a little while.. I think there's more on the way.
 
Just finished storming here...I love a good thunder a lightning storm!
