3:20PM<\/p>\n
With the morning storms well out of the way, some sunshine has heated things up, and made the atmosphere ripe for more storms as a cold front slices into our short-lived burst of heat. These storms have already formed during the past couple hours over NY State & VT, and a solid squall line (as of 3:15PM) runs from west central NH across southern VT and into NY, including the northwest corner of MA. This line is expected to march east southeast, crossing eastern MA between 5PM & 7PM, a bit later toward far southeastern MA including Cape Cod & the Islands. This line has the potential to produce strong winds with some straight-line wind damage and an isolated downburst. Torrential rain, some hail, and of course, dangerous lightning can be expected with this line.<\/p>\n
From experience, this setup often results in the strongest part of the line running along and south of the Mass Pike, with areas to the north of the Pike and into southern NH seeing less widespread powerful storms. This may occur today, but regardless of where you are, do NOT let your guard down until the storms has passed by.<\/p>\n
I will update again as needed with any changes, and a full Boston area forecast will be posted this evening. A quick look ahead suggests a mild, dry Friday, and a cool and unsettled weekend.<\/p>\n
