‘Alert!’ Massachusetts Braces For First Severe Thunderstorms Of The Season

Boston – The WBZ Weather Team has issued a NEXT Weather Alert due to the possibility of some thunderstorms across Massachusetts on Wednesday.

We will have a good chance of seeing some thunderstorms during the day on Wednesday for the first time this spring. The conditions are not met for a significant severe weather event in New England; this won’t resemble the conditions that are predicted to develop in some areas of the Ohio River Valley on Monday through Monday night.

This might turn out to be a significant, advanced case of severe weather in the Midwest.

On Wednesday, we will effectively receive this system’s remnants, but in a far weaker state.

On Wednesday, we anticipate a couple of “rounds” of showers and thunderstorms.

When Might Storms Arrive In Boston on Wednesday?

First round:

Round 1 will take place from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m.

Anticipate a comparatively extensive region of precipitation along with isolated thunderstorms.

There’s a lesser chance of a few pockets of wind damage and a small chance of a few severe storms, including lightning.

There will be a lull in the action for most of the afternoon when this area pushes through.

Second Round:

Round 2 will take place from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m.

Compared to the morning, this occurrence will be more isolated. There may be a few isolated thunderstorms or downpours.

It is anticipated that the strongest cells will be over central and western Massachusetts, diminishing slightly as they move into eastern Massachusetts’s colder, marine air.

Danger of severe weather in Massachusetts
The majority of southern New England is under “marginal” danger of severe weather on Wednesday, according to the Storms Prediction Center.

A good amount of lightning and brief, intense downpours are possible. While far lower than zero, there is still a chance of hail and a brief, weak tornado.

In the coming day, it will be crucial that you pay attention to updated forecasts, particularly if you intend to be outside on Wednesday.
