Rare Level 3 Storm Threat to Bring Tornadoes, Large Hail to New England

Residents of New England are being put on alert for a Level 3 storm threat on Tuesday. Here is what you need to prepare for if you live in this corner of the country.

New England Braces for Repeated Rounds of Storms on Tuesday

A large swath of New England will be under the threat of high winds, hail, and isolated tornadic activity Tuesday afternoon through the overnight hours. The storms will fire up around the northern rim of a heat dome anchored over the Midwest and the Great Lakes. The heat will creep into New England as well, sending the mercury well into the 90s ahead of the storms.

A northward bulge in the jet stream through the middle of the week will translate to widespread thunderstorms forecast to erupt across much of New England and into southeastern Canada. The greatest risk of thunderstorms will occur in northern portions of Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine.
