Busy Weather Day Today

Today will be a fairly active weather day throughout the country.

Here is a look at the Storm Prediction Center (SPC) outlook for today with areas in color showing a risk for storms.

The biggest risk is in the New Jersey area, where we have already seen some storms with large hail and damaging winds today (sorry about the later post today). For us in New England, the biggest risk for some afternoon storms will be in southernmost areas like Fairfield County, CT.

The above image shows a NASA GOES-East satellite where the big storm clouds have now moved off the New Jersey coast. We're cloudy here in New England now, but we can expect some convection to pop up in spots this afternoon.

Here is radar showing that storm that was hitting the mid-atlantic states hard earlier today.

I don't see us having too much risk for severe storms today, but it'll be something to keep an eye out for as convection can pop up fairly quick.
