Severe Weather Possible for Massachusetts Friday Morning

Massachusetts residents may need to prepare for severe weather during their morning commute. The National Weather Service has issued a warning for isolated severe storms on Friday morning for the entire state east of the Berkshires. Damaging winds, large hail, and flash flooding are the main hazards, with a slight risk of tornadoes. The NWS Storm Prediction Center has predicted a 2% chance of tornadoes in eastern Massachusetts. Along with the severe weather, Friday will be hot and humid, with temperatures reaching 85 degrees in some areas. However, the soupy weather will clear away by Friday night, with temperatures dropping to the mid-70s on Saturday. An area of low pressure is expected to track across New England, bringing a cold front that will trigger thunderstorms and decrease in humidity. While a full-fledged severe weather outbreak is not expected, there is still the possibility of strong to severe storms, particularly in eastern areas, with the main threat occurring in the late morning through the afternoon.
