Severe Thunderstorms Possible Across Vermont, and New Hampshire

     The National Weather Service Storm Prediction Center out of Norman, Oklahoma has issued a Severe Thunderstorm Watch for Central and Southern Vermont as well as all of New Hampshire. A destabilizing atmosphere across these areas with a cold front moving across the region will fire up some thunderstorms across the region, some of which will be severe. The greatest threat appears likely across Central and Southern Vermont, as well as much of New Hampshire. Any of the Severe thunderstorms are capable of producing hail up to 2 inches in diameter, and damaging wind gust of 70MPH or greater. Currently no Severe Thunderstorm Warnings have been issued for Vermont or New Hampshire, but conditions are favorable of the development of them, hence the Severe Thunderstorm Watch issuance. Along with the severe aspect of the storms very heavy rains will fall in these storms, this could lead to localized flooding problems, and perhaps some isolated flash flooding. Stay tuned for any further updates. Below are 2 maps first one being the severe thunderstorm outlook map that I have made, and the second map being current National Weather Service alerts...
