A Few Hit Or Miss Showers & Thunderstorms Are Possible Later This Afternoon & This Evening Across Western & Central Mass

Even though the widespread shower activity associated with a frontal boundary will stay south of our area across southern Connecticut and southern Rhode Island, it appears that there will be a few showers and thunderstorms possible mainly late this afternoon and this evening across all of Western and Central Mass.

Radar imagery at the time of this post showed some isolated showers now developing over the eastern slopes of the Berkshires. It is anticipated that the coverage of this shower and thunderstorm activity will increase a bit over the next few hours. Most of the scattered showers and thunderstorms that do occur look to happen between about 4 pm and 9 pm or so.

These showers and thunderstorms later this afternoon and this evening will be hit or miss & because of this, not everyone will see a shower or thunderstorm. Any thunderstorms that do occur will be capable of producing some locally heavy downpours and perhaps some lightning. Strong or severe thunderstorms ARE NOT expected.
