...THUNDERSTORMS MAY PRODUCE DAMAGING WIND AND OR LARGE HAIL IN A
COUPLE OF COUNTIES OVER WESTERN AND NORTHERN MASSACHUSETTS NORTHERN
CONNECTICUT AND SOUTHWEST NEW HAMPSHIRE BETWEEN 3 PM AND MIDNIGHT... 

THE FIRST CHANCE OF A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM IS BETWEEN 3 PM AND 7 PM
FROM HARTFORD COUNTY CONNECTICUT THROUGH WORCESTER TO BOSTONS
NORTHERN SUBURBS...NORTHWARD TO THE ROUTE 2 AREA OF NORTHERN
MASSACHUSETTS. THIS FIRST THREAT WILL BE DRIVEN BY NEAR 90 DEGREE
HEAT AND A WEAKENING FRONTAL BOUNDARY.

A SECOND SURGE OF POTENTIAL FOR A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM MAY OCCUR
BETWEEN 7 PM AND MIDNIGHT FROM SOUTHWEST NEW HAMPSHIRE INTO NORTHWEST
MASSACHUSETTS AND POSSIBLY NORTH CENTRAL CONNECTICUT.   
THIS SECOND RISK WILL BE ASSOCIATED WITH ANY SQUALL LINE THAT MAY
MOVE OUT OF NEW YORK STATE INTO SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND...WHILE A STRONG
AREA OF LOW PRESSURE FOR SUMMER...MOVES INTO NEW YORK STATE. 

IF OUR HAZY SKIES BECOME THREATENING...PAY CLOSE TO ATTENTION FOR
LIGHTNING AND THUNDER AND SEEK SAFE SHELTER IF EITHER ARE NOTICED.
THIS IS A RELATIVELY POTENT SITUATION AND IF WARNINGS ARE ISSUED FOR
YOUR AREA...ALSO SEEK SAFE SHELTER INDOORS.  

STAY TUNED TO NOAA WEATHER RADIO AND OTHER LOCAL MEDIA FOR FURTHER
DETAILS OR UPDATES.
