As Matt and Danielle continue to monitor the risk of thunderstorms this evening, the severe weather threat will transition to a flash flood risk overnight in Northern New England. In this video, Danielle brings you an updated timeline over the next 24 hours and includes some important things to keep in mind if a flood warning is issued for your location.
Evening Essentials: Thunderstorm and Flash Flood Risk Tonight
Hi everybody, meteorologist Danielle Noyes here for the One Degree Outside Weather Network with your evening essentials on this Wednesday. As we continue to monitor the weather, there are significant risks to be aware of overnight tonight, particularly in northern New England.
Thunderstorm and Flash Flood Risk
This evening, thunderstorms will transition into a localized flash flooding risk, especially in northern Vermont, New Hampshire, and northern Maine. Heavy downpours are expected, with the potential for road washouts. If you are near rivers, streams, or low-lying areas, please exercise extreme caution. Campgrounds are particularly vulnerable tonight. Remember, “Turn around, don’t drown.” It’s crucial not to drive through floodwaters, especially in the dark when you can’t see if the road is compromised.
Predicted Radar and Weather Conditions
Evening and Overnight:
- Heavy Downpours: Far northern Vermont, New Hampshire, and northern Maine will experience the heaviest rainfall. The predicted radar shows deeper oranges and reds indicating torrential downpours at times.
- Early Morning: By 4-5 AM, the rain in Vermont will start to quiet down, but isolated downpours and thunderstorms may still develop in the area due to the high humidity. Downpours are still likely from northern NH to northern Maine.
Thursday:
- Morning to Early Afternoon: Pockets of heavier rain and embedded thunder will shift out of eastern Maine by midday to early afternoon.
- Afternoon: The rest of the day will be generally quiet, with hazy, hot, and humid conditions. There is a possibility of isolated hit-or-miss storms in the afternoon due to the heat and humidity.
- Temperatures: Overnight lows will remain in the 70s, making for a muggy and uncomfortable night. Highs tomorrow will climb well into the 80s and 90s from southern New Hampshire to the Route 2 corridor and Merrimack Valley.
- Winds: A southwest breeze at 10 to 20 mph, gusting as high as 30 mph on the South Coast and over Cape Cod.
