Massachusetts is expected to face severe storms and a threat of tornadoes on Thursday. The National Weather Service has issued a warning, urging residents to stay alert and take necessary precautions. The storms are predicted to bring heavy rain, strong winds, and potential hail. The greatest risk lies in central and western parts of the state, but all regions should remain cautious. Residents are advised to secure loose objects, stay indoors whenever possible, and closely monitor weather updates. Authorities are preparing for potential power outages and advising people to have emergency supplies ready..
Residents across Massachusetts should be prepared for the potential for severe thunderstorms on Thursday, which could bring torrential rain, localized flash flooding as well as an isolated chance for a tornado. StormTeam 5 has declared Thursday an Impact Weather Day.”We have the ingredients in place to talk about severe thunderstorms,” StormTeam 5 meteorologist Mike Wankum says. “I think it’s pretty likely we’re going to have severe thunderstorm watches here, and I think it’s pretty likely we’re going to see some severe storms.””The threat of tornadoes is as high as we really get in New England,” Wankum said.From StormTeam 5: Weather alerts | Interactive radarWankum says there’s a lot of things that have to come together for Massachusetts and New England to see severe storms.One thing Wankum is focusing on is how fast clouds and showers clear away on Thursday morning. “If it clears away, it means the atmosphere is going to destabilize,” Wankum said. “However, if that cloud cover hangs around, it’ll hold the temperatures back and it will hold back the threat for severe weather.” Wankum says additional sunshine will allow temperatures to rise and for the atmosphere “to cook,” creating stronger thunderstorms in the afternoon hours. “I think clearing is going to take place and then thunderstorms are going to start erupting during the afternoon, starting in western Massachusetts, along the Route 2 corridor, an area that does not need any more rain.” Wankum said. “This certainly has the potential of dropping 2 to 4 inches of rain in a very short period of time,” Wankum said. The line of severe thunderstorms is projected to move into the greater Boston area around 5 p.m. or 6 p.m. on Thursday.”It will sag its way down to the Massachusetts South Coast and not really getting to Cape Cod until late Thursday evening,” Wankum said. “The whole thing is out of here by midnight and by Friday, we’re back into the heat and humidity again.”A flood watch has been posted for much of Massachusetts, from Norfolk County, north and west, for the potential for torrential rainfall. On Saturday, another round of severe thunderstorms is possible, but a cold front will follow it, bringing in cooler, drier air.

Residents in Massachusetts should prepare for severe thunderstorms on Thursday, with the potential for heavy rain, flash flooding, and even a tornado. The StormTeam 5 meteorologist, Mike Wankum, believes that severe thunderstorm watches will be issued, and there is a high chance of severe storms occurring. The timing of the storms will depend on how quickly clouds and showers clear in the morning, with additional sunshine potentially leading to stronger thunderstorms in the afternoon. The line of severe storms is expected to move into the greater Boston area in the evening, with the entire system moving out by midnight. A flood watch has been issued for much of Massachusetts, and another round of severe thunderstorms is possible on Saturday.
