Even though I thought at around 930 would be our last downpour, more downpours suddenly formed near the RI border and moved NE and right into Boston. There will be some breaks, but showers and downpours with rumbles of thunder will continue for the next couple of hours. My game that I was scheduled to ump at 1130 has been postponed. The Red Sox-yanks game at 3 is in question, and I am afraid that the field will be too wet for my brother's game at 430 this afternoon.
Alerts: A Wind Advisory in effect from 5 PM this afternoon until 8 AM Sunday morning for all of the area.
A Flood Advisory is in effect for the area south of Boston.

Severe threat mainly over
The cell that was headed right for us faded out in west Newton, as the strongest part missed JP to the north. The strongest part of the cell went through Medford, Malden and Winthrop. Meanwhile, another cell went through Hyde Park and Dedham. Downed trees and hail were reported all over the Boston area, as winds gusted to 70 MPH in central mass. Now, skies will clear after 8 PM and Wednesday will be a great day with temps hitting the 70's with no severe threat.

Severe Thunderstorm WARNING!
Severe Storm headed towards Boston, please get inside. This intense thunderstorm will produce hail, and winds over 60 MPH. It should hit JP in about 20-30 Min. Please close all the windows as well, as it will pour for a short period of time. Take shelter as soon as you can!
Severe Thunderstorm Watch
A severe thunderstorm watch has been issued for only Worcester county and southern NH for the moment. However, I expect it will be expanded as the severe line comes through. As of 345 PM, the squall line is located in western MA. If it holds together, this line will come through the Boston area by 7PM. If a severe thunderstorm warning is issued get inside, and stay away from windows. I will continue to keep you updated throughout the evening.

Storms coming
A strong line of showers is about to come through JP. Please go inside for the next 20-30 minutes to allow the storms to pass. Some of these storms may have small hail and some lightning. It will rain hard for less than 20 minutes, and then an additional line may come through. Winds may gust over 50 MPH in the next hour.
Posted at about 4- Please take shelter just in case we get a storm.
A forecast for the rest of the week later.
