After a dreary start to Tuesday, breaks of sun will help touch off some showers and thunderstorms this afternoon.
Most storms are not expected to turn severe this afternoon, but a few could contain locally strong wind gusts and small hail. Western Maine has an “isolated” risk for severe storms. All storms have the potential to produce heavy rainfall and lightning.
Interesting radar feature today when viewing at a regional level. You can actually see the rotation of the upper level low back over New York and Vermont. That area of instability will bring showers and thunderstorms to our area this evening. pic.twitter.com/PgsVuI0h6m

The best chance for storms exists from 2 to 8 p.m. Once the sun sets this evening, those showers and storms will start to dissipate.
A cold front sweeps through our area tonight, and high pressure builds in by early tomorrow. This will bring a return to bright sunshine and seasonable temperatures.
