SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED THROUGH SATURDAY

Good morning SKYWARN Spotters!

We are expecting a very active pattern today and tomorrow as a cold front slowly crosses the region. This afternoon expect thunderstorms in the western portion of the forecast area as the front approaches. Damaging winds, small hail and heavy rain are all a threat. We would appreciate any reports you can provide. Timing will be 2-6pm across western NH and the Maine mountains. For those closer to the coast, sit tight, as tomorrow looks like your chance as the thunderstorms shift east.

If you could submit reports via email, google form, or phone that would be much appreciated! Due to COVID we are unable to host anyone at the office to run a net.

Thanks!
