Just prior to Noon Thursday: The Storm Prediction Center monitors severe thunderstorm conditions across the U.S. & has highlighted the part of New England inside the orange line in this map. We’ve added available thunderstorm energy – over 500 J/kg typically enough for storm development/maintenance. The next step from the government will be the issuance of a Severe Thunderstorm Watch, meaning conditions inside and near the area are favorable for the development of thunderstorms with damaging wind & large hail. Of course, cloud-to-ground lightning. Keep shelter a part of the plan if out and about today, in case storms threaten. This is a great time to download our Noyes’ 1DegreeOutside Weather app if you haven’t already! Both Apple/iOS and Android are linked in the logos at the top of the banner on our homepage, 1degreeoutside.com. If you have our app, and have Weather Notifications turned on, you’ll be alerted if a Severe Thunderstorm Watch – or a Warning, meaning a storm is approaching soon – is issued for your location.
