MA Under Severe Thunderstorm Watch Tuesday Night

MASSACHUSETTS — The National Weather Service has issued a severe thunderstorm watch for almost all of Massachusetts, warning of the possibility Tuesday evening of tornadoes, hail and high winds.

A line of storms will swing rapidly across New England from the northeast, according to the weather service. The severe thunderstorm watch will be in effect until 1 a.m. Wednesday.

“Primary threats include scattered damaging wind gusts to 70 mph possible. Isolated large hail events to 1 inch in diameter possible. A tornado or two possible,” the NWS Storm Prediction Center said in a Tuesday afternoon forecast.

A severe thunderstorm watch means that residents should be on alert for potential severe weather. But patches of nasty weather were already popping up Tuesday evening.

The weather service issued a severe thunderstorm warning for areas around Greenfield, warning of 60 mph winds and hail.

Severe weather may also be a possibility on Wednesday evening. The entire state east of Worcester has a level 1 “marginal” risk of severe weather tomorrow evening.
