NEW Radar Page & Features 7/3/2009

The radar page has been simplified, and many new features have been added! You can now view temperatures from around the region, the latest watches and warnings, and, most significantly, view lightning strikes, all in one radar image! Check it out!

Summerfest Forecast - 12:00AM 7/1/2009

Saturday looks to be a relatively nice day, especially in comparison to the prevailing weather in recent weeks. Temperatures will be in the 70s, and there will be a fair amount of sunshine. There is a slight chance of some scattered showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon.

Severe Thunderstorm Warning - 8:50PM 6/30/2009

The National Weather Service has issued a severe thunderstorm warning for our area until 9:15PM. Penny sized hail and winds up to 60MPH are possible with this storm.

Showers Coming- 7:30PM 6/30/2009

Eastern and Central New York has been getting hit with thunderstorms, some severe, all day today. While those severe storms are generally dying out, there is still a band of rain that is now pivoting in to far Western New England. Expect some of this rain, and a few thunderstorms, to move in later on tonight. You can see the precip well on the radar below from Rutgers University, it is all associated with an area of low pressure over the Great Lakes that's moving very slowly, and is one of two lows that has been producing the unusually cloudy and at times wet weather over the past few weeks. You can also view our radar for a more up-close view of the precip.

Fireworks, Thunderstorms- 2:15PM 6/26/2009

There are some thunderstorms developing just to our east that are mainly staying stationary. As this line slowly moves west, more are developing. There is now a line of storms near the Holland-Sturbridge area. The Monson fireworks are tonight at 9:15, so keep an eye on the radar below before heading out.

Severe Wx Potential- 2:15PM 6/26/2009

There is a slight risk of severe weather today. There are severe thunderstorm watches and warnings to our north in New Hampshire and Vermont and to our west in New York. Hail looks to be the biggest threat today, keep an eye on the radar below for the latest.

Severe T'strm Warning- 4:10PM 5/24/2009

A severe thunderstorm warning is now in effect for the southern portion of Monson into Northern Connecticut. The northern part of town has seen just a small amount of rain and some thunder/lightning with this, however the cell has strengthened and is moving south into Connecticut. People in the southern part of town can expect strong winds and a possiblity of hail with this storm.

Thunderstorm Potential - 1:30PM 5/24/2009

Some thunderstorms are beginning to form here in Western Massachusetts, with temperatures in the mid 70s and a dew point in the low 60s, the atmosphere is ripe for thunderstorm development. The Storms Prediction Center may be issuing a Severe Thunderstorm Watch later on today. See the radar below, as a few thunderstorms are already nearing Monson. I'll have more updates throughout the afternoon. Also check the webcam to view the current conditions here in Monson.
