Most of our area won’t have to worry about severe thunderstorms, but the Mid-Atlantic states are at high risk for extreme weather. Even though this high-hazard area stretches offshore, it only touches the South Coast. Based on the current weather patterns and forecasts, there’s a chance of severe thunderstorms or spin-up twisters across the South Coast, Cape, and Islands in a single day.
Winds from this storm will mostly remain aloft (above ground), but there’s a high risk of 30-to-45 mph wind gusts over the east coast and southeast coastal portions of Massachusetts in a single day until early Thursday. This wind speed isn’t unusual along our shore, but considering the amount of rain that has soaked the ground, a few trees may fall, and a few power outages may occur.
