BOSTON – The WBZ Weather Team is issuing a NEXT Weather Alert Thursday due to the threat of thunderstorms.
While Thursday doesn’t look like a “classic” severe weather situation in this area, there is a risk of thunderstorms, some of which could reach severe levels.
The Storms Prediction Center placed most of southern New England at a “marginal” risk for severe weather on Thursday.

There may be a few showers and thunderstorms on Thursday.
The first window comes very late Wednesday evening through early Thursday morning.
It will be another very warm day… temperatures will already be in the low 70s as many head out in the morning.
Even with limited sunshine, highs could easily climb well into the 80s north and west of Boston.
CBS Boston
There will also be a fair amount of humidity in the air on Thursday… dew points in the mid 60s will make it feel a bit uncomfortable.
CBS Boston
Most models indicate a risk of storms around noon and later in the afternoon.
CBS Boston
Each of these storms may bring frequent lightning, brief heavy rain showers, and some damaging winds and small hail.
CBS Boston
Again, we don’t expect widespread damage or organized, high-level severe weather… but it will be a day to stay aware of the updated forecasts, especially if you have plans to be outside.
CBS Boston
What’s next? Friday was a WONDERFUL day! Highs again in the mid 80s, but with much lower dew points/humidity.
CBS Boston
The holiday weekend looks warm and mostly dry. Saturday will be the warmest and driest day.
CBS Boston
There is a small chance of a shower/storm on Sunday and Monday, but there are no excesses in this weather forecast!
