Special Weather Statement

National Weather Service GRAY ME

12:52 PM EDT Wed Sep 15 2021

SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH THE EVENING.

Thunderstorms are expected to rapidly increase in coverage over

the next couple of hours across northern New England. These will

be moving into New Hampshire and western Maine in that time and

advancing towards the coast by around 8 PM.

Damaging wind gusts are the primary concern with any

thunderstorms through evening, including wind gusts up to 70 mph.

That being said, isolated large hail and a brief tornado cannot be

ruled out either. The threat should be highest in the late

afternoon and early evening, before weakening around sunset.
