Special Statement as of 11:58 am EDT on June 19, 2017

Strong to severe thunderstorms along with heavy rain possible

this afternoon and evening.

As of 12 PM... National Weather Service Doppler radar showed

scattered showers and thunderstorms developing across much of New

Hampshire and gradually moving north and east. This shower and

thunderstorm activity will continue to expand and strengthen as it moves into Maine early this afternoon. Storms will continue across the region through this evening.

Any storms that develop have the potential to become severe with the primary severe weather threat being damaging winds.

Also... due to the very moist airmass in place... any storms that

develop are expected to produce very heavy rain with flash flooding possible.

Please stay tuned to later updates... and potential watches and

warnings from the National Weather Service.
