Storm Threat...

While all eyes are on Hurricane Arthur right now...we need to monitor the thunderstorm situation this afternoon and most importantly this evening with Boston Pops Concert and fireworks at the Hatch Shell. Right now the air is primed for storm development...very warm and humid...and scattered storms are likely this afternoon. Any storm that develops could contain heavy downpours and gusty winds. Once the sun starts getting lower in the sky and sets, storms should dissipate...leaving us cautiously optimistic for all the fun on the Esplanade!

This model shows the atmosphere stabilizing a bit for the late evening in Eastern MA and all storms to the west...this would be great news for the concert and the fireworks.

This model shows storms in the area in the afternoon...and they may pack punch.
