Sunday brings the risk of severe storms

Sunday brings changeable weather that should make you and your loved ones weather conscious. New England rarely sees a Level 3 out of 5 risk, let alone a 10% chance of a tornado. This second-day forecast marks the first time since it was introduced in 2020. TIMING: Sunday morning brings rumbles of thunder, heavy rain, and possibly water pooling on the roads. This early morning to early afternoon activity is not associated with the threat of severe weather. AFTERNOON: From 2 p.m. to 8 p.m., a cold front begins to move west to east. The main dangers are damaging winds, a few tornadoes, hail, and localized flooding. You should prepare for possible power outages, damage, and flooding in the afternoon. Should storms become strong to severe, you should stay inside your home or building. Putting as many walls as possible between you and the outside world will be your best protection from storms and potential damage. If you or someone you know is outdoors or camping, make sure you have a place to go, such as the local fire department or church, to seek shelter. An RV or trailer is not recommended. Flooding is also a risk. You should keep an eye on the water levels of rivers.
