Severe Weather Damages Towns Across State

A severe thunderstorm warning persisted in parts of Massachusetts even after a tornado warning expired overnight.

Several towns suffered damage, according to multiple reports, namely Concord and Marlborough, which had been under the tornado warning and sustained severe wind damage. Downed wires and tree branches have been reported.

The National Weather Service will be conducting damage checks on the ground in both towns later today to assess whether or not a tornado did indeed touch down.
