‘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?

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.
