Heavy Showers & Thunderstorms Expected Late Thursday Night Into Friday Morning:A slow moving frontal boundary will march from west to east across the area late Thursday night and Friday morning. Along and ahead of this front, there will be widespread heavy showers and thunderstorms across the area. It currently appears that an area of heavy showers and thunderstorms will push into Western Mass well after midnight Thursday night and then into Central Mass around or just after sunrise Friday morning. These heavy showers and thunderstorms are then expected to continue throughout Friday morning into early Friday afternoon before ending later in the afternoon on Friday. The severe weather threat with these storms looks low, however, any thunderstorms will still probably produce extremely heavy rainfall, some gusty winds and occasional lightning. With the slow movement of the shower and thunderstorm activity, areas of street and highway flooding and poor drainage flooding looks quite possible.
