Warm Temperatures This Afternoon Will Give Way To Some Scattered Thunderstorms This Evening

Warm temperatures this afternoon that will reach somewhere between 75 and 80 Degrees will give way to some scattered showers and thunderstorms this evening as a cold front pushes through the region.

A cold front is currently located over the eastern Great Lakes at the time of this writing & some thunderstorms are occurring along the front from far western New York State into central Ohio.

It is expected that this cold front will push through the area this evening & it looks likely that scattered showers and thunderstorms will affect Western Mass between 7 pm and 10 pm and will affect Central Mass between about 7:30 pm and 11 pm.

It's possible that a couple of the thunderstorms could be on the strong side, especially across Western Mass where there is expected to be slightly higher amounts of instability. This means that any strong thunderstorms could produce wind gusts of up to 40-50 mph and perhaps some small hail.

I will be keeping an eye on things and will have updates for you as needed.
