Possible 'Severe Weather' Saturday for the Area

A disturbance plans on swinging its way through southern New England on Saturday afternoon, bringing with it some showers and thunderstorms, according to Jim Arnold, weather specialist with the Shrewsbury Emergency Management Agency.

That means, he said, that there could be some isolated severe weather for the area on Saturday.

"Right now there are no indications of severe thunderstorms," Arnold said on Friday morning, "but should we see any significant sunshine before the showers arrive here, the atmosphere could destabilize enough to produce an isolated severe thunderstorm or two across the region. The main threat would likely be strong straight line winds, and these storms would also likely produce quite heavy but brief rainfall as well as frequent and intense lightning."

Arnold also added that a cold shot of air could follow the "disturbance."

And the weather plans for Monday and Tuesday? Temperatures will be in the high 50s to low 60s, with scattered frost.
