With humidity in place, northern New England has the potential to see strong to severe storms this evening. With hot temperatures and moisture, our atmosphere may become volatile for isolated storms formation along the showers. Severe storm development may bring strong localized wind gusts, hail and frequent lightning. Conditions may also bring rotating storms.
We anticipate a strong clash of temperatures with our cold air mass rushing in from the northwest to run into very hot temperatures and allowing our lapse rates to increase again. This may bring once more the chance of localized damaging wind gusts, hail and thunder.
