Smoke lingers tomorrow, with conditions similar to today. A cold front will shunt the plume south later in the day from north to south. The front will also provide the basis for scattered afternoon storms/showers across the north. #MAwx #CTwx #RIwx #NHwx #MEwx #VTwx

For those who were not looking forward to this week's heat, the smoke has provided a silver lining.It's pretty much solely responsible for the collapse of this expected heat wave.If skies remained clear, a good 6-10° could have been added onto today's highs below. #MAwx #CTwx #RIwx #NHwx #VTwx #MEwx

A smoke plume continues to hover over New England, stemming from fires in Minnesota and Ontario. Hampden/Hampshire counties are seeing the worst air quality at this hour. This is also keeping temps a good 10+ degrees lower than forecasts a couple days ago. #MAwx #CTwx #RIwx #NHwx

Overnight storms packed some serious hail. Most of the largest hail came from the same storm cluster that tracked northwest to southeast across northern New York, central Vermont and into southern New Hampshire overnight. The largest hail fell when the storm 1st entered New York. #NYwx #VTwx #NHwx

The worst-case scenario was certainly avoided with severe weather over the last 12 hours, but overnight storms did cause some localized problems. Large hail up to golf ball size fell in a couple New Hampshire towns, causing some damage. #VTwx #NHwx #MEwx

A couple of rare pre-dawn severe storms are working through New England at this time. These storms are capable of producing large hail. #VTwx #NHwx #MAwx

The hail threat with this storm marching through central New Hampshire is increasing. Over 1" diameter hail is becoming favored. #NHwx #MEwx

A severe thunderstorm watch has been issued for northern Vermont, New Hampshire and northwest Maine through 4am. A cluster of storms has entered the region this evening with another cluster possible overnight. #NHwx #MEwx #VTwx

A wildfire smoke plume has caused some upheaval with forecasts today.After temps came in cooler than expected for most (heat advisory was canceled early this afternoon for many), it is causing serious 11th hour uncertainty on the severe threat. #MAwx #CTwx #RIwx #NHwx #MEwx #VTwx

Wildfire smoke and early afternoon shower activity were major wild cards for today's severe threat. Both factors have led to a decrease in severe potential for eastern/northern Maine. The threat remains for western ME, northern NH & northern VT, but uncertainty remains. #MEwx #VTwx #NHwx

The early afternoon cluster of storms has arrived in northern Maine. Wind gusts up to 70mph are possible with this currently warned storm. #MEwx

An elevated risk of severe weather remains on the table through tonight for northernmost New England. After a bit of morning activity, another system is approaching northern Maine for early this afternoon. This will have implications on severe potential later in the evening. #MEwx #VTwx #NHwx

An elevated risk for severe storms will be present tomorrow late afternoon and evening. There are limiting factors, so this is not set in stone, but the potential is there for significant storms across northernmost New England, maybe similar to the Connecticut 4th of July event. #NHwx #MEwx #VTwx

New England's next bout of high heat comes this week. Tue is likely the hottest day w/ a gradual downturn after.Temps likely stay elevated, and a heat wave is on the table for Tues-Thurs. There is also the potential for powerful storms across the north later Tues. #MAwx #CTwx #RIwx #NHwx #MEwx #VTwx

The heat cranks back up next week. A heat dome has set up across the western US, but sprawling high pressure will allow hotter temps to push east by Tuesday. A cold front drops into northern areas later Tuesday, which could trigger sever storms across the north. #MAwx #CTwx #RIwx #NHwx #MEwx #VTwx

ON THIS DAY in 1989, one of the most prolific tornado outbreaks in the northeast occurred. A total of 17 tornadoes touched down across the region, with 10 occurring in New England. #MAwx #CTwx #NYwx #NJwx

Heat and humidity jumps up tomorrow. This will come with some storm chances. Thursday will be mainly across the northern tier. Storms drop south on Friday, but may still end up hit-or-miss across southern New England. #MAwx #CTwx #RIwx #NHwx #MEwx #VTwx

That was certainly a widespread soaking southern New England saw over the last couple days. 1-3 inches was reported in most areas, with pockets of 3-6 inches across Connecticut, Rhode Island and southeast Massachusetts. #MAwx #CTwx #RIwx #NHwx #MEwx #VTwx

Warmer weather quickly returns to southern New England tomorrow. Heat and humidity increase to end the week, but a cold front will be looming. This front will provide the main basis for some storms Thursday, Thursday night and Friday afternoon/evening. #MAwx #CTwx #RIwx #NHwx #MEwx #VTwx

A widespread 1-3" of rain has fallen across southern New England, with the highest totals across southern and western Connecticut, where upwards of 3-6" of rain has fallen. Rain will continue through the day for some areas, so totals are not final yet. #CTwx #MAwx #RIwx

Rain will continue to move north thru the night and will continue across eastern Massachusetts, Rhode Island and southern New Hampshire through much of Tuesday. Locally heavy downpours remain a possibility. 2-4" of rain has been reported in Connecticut so far. #MAwx #CTwx #RIwx #NHwx #MEwx #VTwx

The heaviest rain has been held south of New England so far, though it will continue to creep north through the day and into the night. Flash flood warnings are currently in effect across New Jersey and Long Island. #CTwx #RIwx #MAwx

Clean-up and restoration continues across Connecticut after Saturday evening's intense storms. As rain moves across the state today, here is the latest: #CTwx

A stalled boundary to the south of New England will provide the focus for a period of soaking rain for southern New England through Tuesday. Multiple rounds of downpours are possible south of the Mass Pike. High pressure to the north will push drier air into the north. #MAwx #CTwx #RIwx #NHwx #VTwx

Here's some developments and numbers from the 4th of July severe storms that moved across Connecticut yesterday evening: #CTwx

A strong complex of storms tore through Connecticut last night, resulting in widespread wind damage and power outages, along with sporadic large hail. As of 10:30am, over 70,000 remain without power in Connecticut. #CTwx

About 80,000 are without power in Connecticut at this hour after powerful storms brought destructive winds and hail to the state. These storms are beginning to push toward the sea, but the damage has been done. #CTwx

Very high wind and large hail are prominent with this bowing line of storms. Connecticut outages are climbing quickly. #CTwx

A potent cluster of storms is moving through western Massachusetts and Connecticut. These storms contain destructive winds. #MAwx #CTwx #RIwx

A cold front dips through New England on the Fourth, beginning a gradual end to this heat wave. The southern half of New England remains hot, however. Storms will be hit-or-miss, with greater coverage across southwest New England. #MAwx #CTwx #RIwx #NHwx #MEwx #VTwx
