WEATHER ALERT: WEATHER ALERT: Tornado warning issued for southern New Hampshire

St enough so that it may be producing a tornado right now based on what we're seeing on radar the storm is moving East right now in some other areas that are in this warning some towns include Kean uh chesham swansee Troy uh Dublin as well these are all in Southern New Hampshire and you can see this red box behind me right here includes the entirety of the storm and some areas farther east where the storm is approaching uh some areas that are not in the warning but where I want you to be very aware of this storm are places like Hancock and Peterboro where this storm will reach perhaps in the next 30 minutes or so if you're in the warning now is the time to get down to the lowest floor of your house a basement if you have one you want to put as much space between you and the top floor of your house and those exterior walls and windows as you can that's what will keep you safest here I'll put a tracker on this so we can get an idea of which direction it's going and how quickly our storm right now is moving at this moment um at 40 mph to the east so let me put a tracker on it even if you're not in the warning we'll get an idea of where headed and let's switch to full screen here too so you can see the tracker a little bit better thanks for that guys um so here's our tracker our storm like I said moving East at 40 m per hour so that would place it in the next 45 minutes in towns listed above there so you're seeing places like Marlboro Peterboro Greenfield francistown Wilton and Milford and the timing of that storm cell's arrival right beside it right there so Peterboro around 515 Wilton around 5:30 Milford around 540 this storm like I said moving East right now so like I said the National Weather Service they warned it because they're seeing rotation so let's take a look and see what we see here and I'm going to switch again to uh higher resolution product for our radar um there's our storm right there here is our velocity this is velocity is in the wind direction and what we're looking for those red and green colors side by side which you can see very clearly there uh really to the north and east of Swansea right there is where we have that that middle point of the rotation so if there's a tornado it would most likely be right in this area I'm circling for you right there if there was a tornado it would most likely be just to the north and east of Swansea and to the north and west of web it would be moving in the direction of Marlboro and web sort of passing right between the two um is the direction this would be uh going if there is a tornado on the ground now we don't know for certain if there is we uh would need ground confirmation from that or we don't have that right now but that is something that uh we will be watching as the storm continues um to progress and develop so we'll take a look again uh get a little more information on our tornado warning right here um as I mentioned it's it's tornado warned it's also producing hail up to a ping actually it's half dollar sized half dollar sized hail in the storm which certainly you do not want to be outside and you absolutely need to be in your safe place uh and this storm also producing a ton of lightning and you can see all of that just to the south of Keane and again really spread out throughout the entire storm I also want to mention by the way uh and we can go back to me too uh here thanks guys we have a couple storms that are in the general vicinity too so we have another storm that is just to the north and east of this one as well uh it is in the direction of Sutton right now passing between lonia and conquered so everyone up at Lake Winn upasak right now better be watching that closely uh that's a severe storm out there and I also want to mention we do have a tornado worn storm that is currently moving through the Western portion of Connecticut as well approaching Lichfield this is not in our area right now but we are watching this closely too because this storm there's so much energy in the atmosphere it's likely to maintain its strength and as it does that would take it on a path that would bring it into the southern portion of Worcester County in about an hour and a half a lot can happen between then and now but it's something that we will be watching very closely and there are also more storms which may certainly uh evolve over time here I'm seeing some updates from the uh uh the National Weather Service waiting to see if we get any damage reports from the storm doesn't seem like we have any right now but like I said our storm right now tornado warant it looks like it has just moved out of the town of Swansea out of the town of Kean so you guys if you're uh if you're in that warning both of you guys are um the storm has now moved Beyond you guys we're watching it closely but at this point it is now places like Dublin that are at higher risk as the storm approaches and some other locations Marlboro The Storm Is Right overhead same with web and Harrisville as well those are some areas I want you to be paying very close attention to you know what we're saying here I hope and you really need to be in the lowest floor of your house at this point and we're watching the storm as it continues to move eastwards at 40 mph like I said a lot of lightning in the storm we can also get an idea of the hail in the storm too we'll open our debris tracker um what you're seeing here is not debris but rather those green spots there's quite a few of them and I'll Circle a few of them for you too so you can see them more clearly at least what I'm looking at but what we're seeing here these greenish colors mixed in those are areas where there may be some large hail generally this entire area out here is where we may be seeing some large hail within the storm so a couple of Hazards here the tornado uh potential is certainly the most substantial but uh it does seem like we are getting some flooding here as well um I did just get a report come through that there is some Road flooding uh some streets are closed maybe a vehicle or two that is stranded in the storm now part of the reason for that is that this storm is producing such heavy rainfall and if I put this in motion you'll get an idea for some of the rain that's falling out here um and as we can see the storm is continuing to move move to the east pretty quickly but it is dropping rain very heavily and in a short amount of time and that's going to cause some additional concerns such as flooding uh once again if you're in this tornado warning you do need to head down to your safe place right now that's the lowest floor of your house a basement if you have one just put space between you and the outside walls and windows U I'll put another tracker on this as we continue to watch this storm and it's one of many today that will have the potential to produce a tornado uh the atmosphere as I mentioned before it it has a lot of energy there is a lot of spin out there and these storms once they become strong they can tap into the spin now one of the things that concerns me about this storm too before I put a tracker on it and I mentioned this a moment ago too but it's the amount of lightning and you can see all those individual strikes behind me here when we see a lot of lightning on these storms that tells us the updraft is very healthy you get lightning because that updraft it's it's basically all you have all these particles in the storm crashing together being pulled apart and you get lightning strikes and and when you have that much motion within the storm it usually means that it's going to maintain its strength for at least some time to come here so for that reason again if you're in the warning you have to be in your safe place but I'm going to put a tracker on this and I'll tell you that uh if you are in this cone I'm about to draw I want you to be prepared to head to your safe place because I expect this storm to be um strong for at least another 30 minutes if if not much longer here and even if they don't extend the tornado warning it is very likely they would be extending a severe thunderstorm warning here so over the next 45 minutes we let's put another tracker on here over the next 50 minutes we'll give it actually we'll give it an hour so you have more lead time here over the next hour some of the places that may impact will be Peterboro Greenfield is in there as well Amherst Bedford Manchester included in this too so one of our bigger uh areas in uh our viewing vicinity um may be impacted as soon as around 5:55 p.m. London Dairy also in this as well and you can see that tracker behind me if we take full screen you may be able to see it better um there we are thanks guys uh so Peter burough again in the immediate threat right now you're you're on the outside of that tornado warning but I do want you to be prepared to head down to your safe place if that warning is extended um Greenfield Amherst Bedford that would be in the next uh 45 minutes or so Manchester is one of the bigger Metro areas here and that may be impacted by around 555 so if you're in Manchester watching you need to be thinking about where you're going to go if this warning gets extended it isn't if but it is very likely it would at least be extended um for severe thunderstorm winds seems like we're getting some more weather updates here I'm going to take a look uh while we wait for a new radar scan at one of our other storms that's to the north we're going to take a look at this one uh this is on the Northern end of our viewing area I mentioned this is moving into Salisbury right now it is going to pass the south of lonia um and it's actually going to pass right by the motor speedway too there is a NASCAR race that's going on today which um does make me a little uneasy you can see I'll Circle the spot where that would be but our Motor Speedway um that would be right around let me get my circle that'd be right around here where I'm circling so we want to hope that storm weakens but if you know anyone who's at the speedway right now I'll tell you this it's worth giving them a call okay um they need to know that there is a strong storm coming in it's worn for 60 mph wind gusts um Penny sized hail but the national weather service has marked it with a tornado tag which suggests that uh there is some weak rotation and I'm definitely seeing it here too there is some weak rotation on the Storm it's not enough to Warrant a tornado warning yet but that may come about if that rotation gets a little stronger so if you know anyone who's at the uh the the motor speedway at the NASCAR race in New Hampshire right now best give them a call make sure they're aware of the storm that's coming in it concerns me because that's an outdoor event and I just hope people have a plan they know where to go if uh a tornado warning is issued here right now a severe thunderstorm warning certainly concerning it's producing hail but like I said um give your friends family a call it's one of the best things you can do the storm may not be where you are but you may be able to make a difference helping people out if the storm is where they are uh I'm going to take another look at our storm out here in Connecticut again moving out of that tornado warning right now but the significance of this storm we're seeing uh moving into torington Connecticut is that it's beginning to move in our Direction still about an hour and a half out but this would make its way into Southern Worcester County if it continues to maintain its strength so I'm going to put another tracker on this for you guys we're going to plan out its motion and again we'll uh we'll send this out 90 minutes to give you an idea of where it's headed and you can see some Massachusetts towns there uh such as lllo beler town as well Springfield too and western Mass those are areas that may be impacted that's about an hour to an hour and a half from now this storm U still has time to evolve it may weaken but I'll tell you again there's so much in the atmosphere I wouldn't count on it weakening um we'll have to watch this closely it is tornado warned right now it is likely to be severe warned if they do not extend the tornado warning right now moving through Connecticut but we will be entering into uh the southern portion of Worcester County at some point in about the next 90 minutes so we'll continue to watch that closely as well let's see if we have anything new on our storm that is now to the east of Keane this thing moving pretty quickly remember 40 m per hour so if you're in Keane and Swansea they've cut back the tornado warning you are no longer in the warning however if you're in Dublin for example we'll take a closer look at this storm this is in a spot where I do have some concern uh we're still seeing some rotation on here let me get another look I have um tracking on my iPad next to me too so you see me looking off to the side I'm I'm looking at another high resolution radar so you have all the best information of course um but what we're seeing again here is this storm certainly still rotating I'm going to circle what I'm looking at so you can see what I'm seeing um and what we're getting is again that red and green color side by side that green color coming in a little brighter um that's our couplet as we call it and what you're seeing is this couplet right here just to the east of Marlboro and moving in the direction of Dublin New Hampshire right now so if you're in Dublin if this storm is producing a tornado it would be passing very close to where you are and if I remember correctly you guys actually may have had to deal with a tornado last summer too I know we had some active severe weather right in this area so um hopefully you guys have been well versed in what to do here if you're if you're watching and and I'm calling out your town name Harrisville Dublin uh even Peterboro the storm's getting a little close for comfort you may want to head down to that that basement if you have one or at least the lowest floor of your house that's where you're going to be safest in the case of a tornado and uh that is what we are concerned concerned about right now this storm warned for the potential of a tornado again we do not have any confirmation that there is a tornado going on but we can tell from radar all that rotation that uh the possibility for a tornado is very real here and this was our concern coming into today all that energy in the atmosphere all that spin only uh you only need a couple strong storms to basically tap into that and produce and that's what we're watching right now is that potential as this storm continues to move East I mentioned if you live between uh if you live between let's say Peterboro and Manchester so places uh would include Mont Vernon even New Boston Milford miramac uh these are locations that may be dealing with a storm as it moves eastwards here so that's one of the other things that we'll be watching is everyone who's Downstream of this I'll put our radar in motion so you can get a better idea of uh the direction it's headed to hopefully that'll help you out a little bit uh but there's our storm again you can see it moving East the other concerning thing is that this would be moving into Manchester um it does appear somebody reported a a wall cloud um I can't corroborate that myself because I don't see any pictures but uh worth noting if if there is a wall cloud on the storm that is sort of the final stage before a tornado would drop out of it again um I haven't seen pictures myself that's a report I just got in from uh somebody um but worth noting again this storm certainly rotating you can see all the lightning on it it's a healthy storm any of these healthy storms have the potential to produce and actually if we leave it on full screen we'll take an even closer look at that uh wind wind velocity we'll also take a look at our debris tracker too just to get an updated um view of this there's our there's our green and red color side by side there uh east of Marlboro and Webb moving in the direction of Dublin New Hampshire you can see right on uh right on Highway 101 right there and 137 if you know where those two highways cross that's an area I'm certainly concerned about so 101 and and 137 here in uh in Southern New Hampshire if you know where that is I'll Circle it for you as well um let me get a different color so you can see those circles better but that's that's where we're looking at right now as an area where there may be some impacts um if this storm is producing a tornado again can't confirm that it is at the moment uh because we have confirmation on radar that there is rotation but that alone is not enough to say okay there is definitely a tornado we can only say there is a certain chance at a tornado uh what we're seeing here is our debris tracker what we'd be looking for if there was debris would be sort of a blue Bullseye we just got a new radar skin I'm not seeing that blue Bullseye rather what we're seeing is more of that orange and yellow color that's suggestive of hail and this storm is also warned for large hail so you're likely hearing a lot of rain maybe some thumps on the roof that hail falling if you're in Dublin if you're in Hancock you know what I'm talking about you're hearing that on your roof right now uh and really the the number one thing that stands out is that a lot of you are hearing a lot of rain and lightning as that really is quite prolific In This Storm at the moment I'll tell you though one of the things that we would typically look for and that I'm not seeing we look for more of a hook shape at the bottom of a storm and when we get a hook in a storm that tells us that it's rotating so what I'd expect to see is something that's sort of going like this at the very bottom not quite seeing that right now so that's a good sign that said we do know from our wind that uh the storm is rotating and I'll bring you back to that we just got an updated radar scan here it's that red and green color side by side right here moving into the Dublin area and like I said right along 101 and 137 to the east of Dublin right where they cross uh that is an area that may be impacted if there was a tornado there there is at least some strong wind out there too and something that we're watching very quickly so um that's that's something that we need to keep a close eye on uh again we we'll take a look at that storm until we get a new radar SC we'll come back to this but I want to take a look at that storm that's to the north right now uh like I said the uh the Nascar race is going on um and that would be in this warning box the southern end of it I'll put a little marker on it for you so you can see it more clearly but if you're just to in here we're covering the potential for a tornado on a storm that has just moved to the east of Kean New Hampshire I also want to talk about a severe thunderstorm that is moving into the area where the motor speedway would be Circle that in white for you uh This Storm not tornado warnant here but it is a severe thunderstorm and the concern here is that well obviously there's a lot of people outside at this event and they are likely paying attention to the event that they're at makes a lot of sense right well that's concerning when you have a severe storm moving in because they may be caught off guard by heavy rain rain wind some hail and as I mentioned the National Weather Service did mention that they believe this storm has the potential to uh pick up some stronger rotation and that means while it is not Tado to warn now it could be if that rotation is realized so if you know anyone at the motor speedway wouldn't hurt to give them a call just say hey there's a strong storm I'm listening to the weather they're they're telling me to tell you to pay attention to what's going on outside that can make a huge difference you know if this did get tornado warned who knows you could save a life but just make sure you're thinking of your friends and family who may be out there as well and same with with any friends and family that are in Keen or live to the east of keen the warning may not be where you are right now but you likely know somebody at least somebody who knows somebody who lives in that area and we did just get an update on that storm by the way uh they have extended the severe thunderstorm warning so once this storm moves out of that tornado warning assuming we don't get a new tornado warning we'll bring you back to programming I know a bunch of you are probably anxious to watch some soccer I would be too um great great Euro Cup going on but we have uh we have the severe storm warning that has been issued this is extended into the Manchester area so let me get some information on this for you guys um and you can see that yellow box behind me we'll take full screen so you can see it a little bit better how's that uh and I'll fill it in for you too so it's more clear there's our there's our yellow shaded area that's where our severe storm warning is once again I'm taking a look at the warning we'll tell you what this is warned for momentarily here there we are uh so this storm has now been warned for 60 mph wind gust and quarter sized hail you know it does look like the rotation may be weakening just a little bit and the national weather service has mentioned that as well uh but we do have to keep an eye on the Storm as it is still severe warant and moving in the direction of some more populated areas so again those places I call that before Peterboro Wilton New Boston marac Manchester New Hampshire all these areas little higher population out there too some more people in the line of this uh you may be impacted by certainly Heavy Rain frequent lightning but especially the concerns here are wind gusts up 60 MPH and hail uh that may be up to the size of quarters now that could do minor damage to anything outside you know your car is probably not going to get damaged by hail um but the wind is certainly a concern especially given that that could take down trees uh telephone wires so make sure that you're inside uh you don't need to head to the basement for this one but you need to be inside I'd feel safest on the lowest floor and I can tell you they just let that tornado warning expire so uh we're going to send you back to programming here in just a moment just want to give you a quick update a quick overview I want to mention that that severe storm we're watching in Connecticut that was just extended that warning into Hartford we're going to keep an eye on that in case it does end up grazing some of our counties in central Massachusetts to the South uh we also have that storm near the speedway we still have this storm that's moving into Manchester just because they dropped the tornado warning now doesn't mean it's the last tornado warning we'll see so we're going to keep a close eye on these and I do want to mention as well we are seeing some further storm development now in the western part of the state over the birk shears too those storms in the birk shears those will move eastwards and may impact Us in Central Mass at least so we're going to keep a close eye on all of this um and I will be back here again if I see anything concerning keep it with us you know I'll come back make sure you have the boston 25 weather app by the way as soon as a storm warning comes out the app's going to give you a notification you'll know exactly if you're in the warning or not it also gives you alerts about thunderstorm uh lightning too um just a good thing to have honestly it really is um I see the warning on there personally as a meteorologist sooner than I see them anywhere else half the time so uh good thing to have with you and like I said stick with us if there's any more severe weather we'll be back for now stay safe make sure you have a way to get those warnings and stay weather aware this afternoon
