Downpours, thunder, hail and graupel remain a possibility through this afternoon. We’ve had reports of graupel already in Connecticut and Massachusetts as well as lightning and active winds.
Stay safe this afternoon: "If thunder roars, go indoors." Wind gusts will exceed 25 mph as we see these showers and embedded downpours pushing into the northeast towards Maine through the afternoon and into this evening, for which many in central and southern New England will get to enjoy a nice sunset.
Temperatures today have reached the mid and upper 50s for some and we’ll drop a few degrees tomorrow. With a cooler day on tap, Sunday will feature highs in the mid-50s with some upper 40s in Vermont. Tomorrow’s a different scenario though, we’ll see mostly sunny skies in the late morning hours through early afternoon with the chance of some isolated rain. These light and brief showers will march rapidly towards the east as the afternoon progresses and our winds will once again fill in close to 20-25 mph.
