SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
1230 PM EDT TUE JUL 23 2002

...A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH IS IN EFFECT FOR MOST OF SOUTHERN
NEW ENGLAND UNTIL 7 PM EDT...

THE EXCEPTION BEING SOUTHERN CONNECTICUT...THE CAPE AND ISLANDS
WHERE NO WATCH EXISTS.

THUNDERSTORMS WILL MOVE THROUGH A LARGE SECTION OF SOUTHERN NEW
ENGLAND BETWEEN 1 PM AND 7 PM...CAUSING POOR DRAINAGE FLOODING
AND LIGHTNING INDUCED POWER OUTAGES.

THE WATCH COVERS THE INCREASED RISK OF SEVERAL STORMS PRODUCING
DAMAGING WIND OR LARGE HAIL IN A FEW COUNTIES OF SOUTHERN NEW
ENGLAND.

THE PRIMARY THREAT FOR POTENTIALLY SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IS AS
FOLLOWS...IN SOUTHERN NEW HAMPSHIRE BETWEEN 1 AND 4 PM...IN NORTHERN
MASSACHUSETTS ALONG ROUTE 2 INCLUDING GREENFIELD...FITCHBURG...THE
MERRIMACK VALLEY BETWEEN 2 AND 5 PM...THEN ALONG THE MASS TURNPIKE
FROM SPRINGFIELD TO WORCESTER AND BOSTON BETWEEN 3 AND 6 PM...THEN
FROM HARTFORD...TO WILLIMANTIC...PROVIDENCE...SMITHFIELD...TAUNTON

WHILE STORMS MAY NOT BE SEVERE WHEN THEY REACH THE COASTAL WATERS...

CERTAIN FOR A FEW PORTIONS OF THIS AREA...ESPECIALLY FROM THE
MERRIMACK RIVER TO BOSTON HARBOR...PLYMOUTH AND CAPE COD BAY.

STAY COOL ON THIS UNUSUALLY HOT SUMMER AFTERNOON AS THE HUMIDITY
COMBINED WITH NEAR 95 DEGREE TEMPERATURES WILL MAKE IT FEEL MORE
LIKE 100 TO 105 BEFORE THE STORMS ARRIVE.0

SEEK SAFE SHELTER IF WARNINGS ARE ISSUED OR SKIES BECOME
THREATENING.

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILL MONITOR THE SITUATION CLOSELY.
STAY TUNED TO NOAA WEATHER RADIO AND OTHER LOCAL MEDIA FOR FURTHER
