Weather Warning: Risk Of Severe Thunderstorm, Severe Damaging Winds

WORCESTER COUNTY, MA—It's probably a good idea to secure the grill cover and make sure your recycling bin doesn't blow down the driveway.

There's a possible doozy of a storm headed toward Central New England, particularly Worcester County, on Monday evening, starting later in the evening and heading into the wee hours of sleeptime.

In an alert issued by the National Weather Service, it indicates that there is a low risk of strong to severe thunderstorms late Monday evening and overnight. Strong to damaging wind gusts are the greatest threat.

According to NBC Boston's Aaron Perry, “Right now, expecting a first batch of showers and t’storms to impact central and northern New England from 9pm-12am, followed by a secondary round, likely more powerful, from 2am-6am. By daybreak, shower activity and associated cold front will be exiting the coast.”
