A cold front associated with a strong Canadian low will sweep eastward through the Northeast. Expect some scattered storms ahead of the front in the morning in the western portions of the state, followed by a strong squall line in the early-mid afternoon. The setup looks like a good one for severe weather… strong vertical wind shear and sufficient CAPE values (to give you some meteorological terms!) will provide a classic setup for the development and persistence of strong updrafts.
Basically, the environmental conditions are favorable for a strong line of thunderstorms, possibly embedded with some supercells. Some of you may have thought the winds and hail you experienced yesterday were significant… wait until tomorrow! Be prepared for damaging winds, large hail, and even a chance of a tornado.
Stay tuned to your local weather station throughout the day for current information on the development of these storms.
On the brighter side, there will definitely be a calm after this storm. Look forward to three or four days of absolutely beautiful weather after the storms rumble through!
Stay safe tomorrow, everybody!
