Mid-storm update

Tonight is an active night of weather along the eastern seaboard. I had my last radio show of the semester tonight, and I spoke a bit about the frontal passage tonight that would bring some active weather to much of the Northeast.

The National Weather Service in Burlington has issued two severe thunderstorm warnings so far for northern New York. So far here in Vermont, we've seen some heavy precipitation and gusty winds. Here's a current look at radar:

Here in Vermont, we're seeing some heavy bands of rain with gusty winds. I showed a zoomed-out version of radar so you can really get a sense of there the frontal passage is it the moment. That line of NWS warnings extends from Washington, D.C. to Chicopee, MA. Anywhere along that line is seeing some impressive storms with extremely gusty winds at the moment. Interestingly, the New England Patriots are playing in Foxbourogh tonight. That must me treacherous conditions for football.

The frontal passage shows up very clearly on the HRRR model for 03z this evening.

In areas further south, tornado warnings have been issued, and challenging conditions persist. We'll return to calmer, more stable weather tomorrow after the front has passed through.
