The discussion mentions the Northeast. We’re usually mentioned as mid-Atlantic states. Maryland to Massachusetts could be in play this afternoon and evening.

There’s an enhanced risk of severe thunderstorms across parts of the Midwest. There’s a slight risk of severe thunderstorms across the central to southern Plains and parts of the Northeast.

Severe thunderstorms are expected this afternoon through tonight from the southern Plains to the Great Lakes. Large to very large hail, a few strong tornadoes, and damaging wind gusts will be possible, especially in eastern Iowa, northern Illinois, and southern Wisconsin. Additional severe storms, mainly producing strong wind gusts, will be possible in parts of the Northeast this afternoon.

@dismalmanorgang Note the yellow blob over the Hudson River Valley. That’s New York’s “tornado alley”. I lived next door in Connecticut. When NY was tornadoed, it was usually in Dutchess County.

Western Massachusetts is also in the line of fire. When I was growing up, that area was hit. Diner tickets were deposited in Waterford, CT 100 KM away.
