Another Round Of Severe Weather Headed For MA This Week: Forecast

MASSACHUSETTS — The state may be in for another round of severe weather on Tuesday in two separate rounds, according to the National Weather Service.

Unlike the typical afternoon storms the region sees in summer, Tuesday's severe storms may begin between sunrise and noontime, according to the weather service. Heavy rain and high winds — including a possible brief tornado — are in the mix. The chance of storms then returns again during the afternoon hours.

A round of severe weather in the Mid-Atlantic states Monday may influence severe weather outbreaks here on Tuesday with different weather systems heading into the Northeast. The main concern will be flooding during the morning commute.

"[A] weak low pressure moving through overnight to early Tuesday morning will bring a risk for thunderstorms capable of an isolated severe weather and localized street flooding risk. Another round of thunderstorms is possible in the afternoon in interior Massachusetts and Connecticut," the NWS office in Norton said in a forecast Monday afternoon.

On Monday morning, the weather service's storm prediction center said there's a "marginal" risk of isolated severe storms Tuesday morning, although that risk may either rise or fall. The weather service hadn't issued any weather watches for eastern Massachusetts as of early Monday morning.

"From Tuesday to Tuesday night, some risk for severe weather will spread across Connecticut to southwestern Maine. Thunderstorms that rumble across New England can bring flooding downpours, localized damaging wind gusts and isolated tornadoes to locations like Boston, Providence and Portland, Maine," AccuWeather said in a forecast.
