Storm Team 5 Weather In-Depth

BOSTON -- A Funnel Cloud was observed over Barrington, R.I. yesterday afternoon, which prompted the issuance of a tornado warning late yesterday afternoon over a portion of SE Ma. However, it does not appear that a tornado touched down.

Nonethelss, numerous soaking thunderstorms with a lot of lightning have been occurring off and on.

Today will be one of the most humid days of the entire summer. It will feel like South Florida.

There will be a few more torrential downpours and thunderstorms, most numerous this morning over Western New England.

Later today and tonight, they will become more numerous in our area here in Eastern New England.

There are numerous flood watches, warnings and advisories in effect.

Finally, the front associated with these storms will move through late tonight, finally putting an end to these occasional torrential downpours.

That will allow tomorrow to become a much nicer day, with developing sunshine, still very warm temperatures, but somewhat less humid conditions.

This improved weather will last into Saturday, but a few thunderstorms cannot be ruled out Saturday night or Sunday.

Even so, Sunday should still feature partly suuny skies.

Showers may linger Friday morning along the east coast but should clear in time to bring a nice, dry afternoon. Humidity levels drop as the clouds clear.
