Another week, another possible tornado.
The National Weather Service will be investigating two
different areas for possible tornado damage tomorrow.
The first area under investigation is Tolland. Around 5 PM a “doppler indicated” tornado
warning was issued for Tolland, Willington, Stafford and Union. That means enough rotation was present in the
radar to produce a tornado (without knowing if one is actually on the ground). In
Tolland several trees were down on Mountain Spring Road near Old Post Road.
Another “Doppler indicated” tornado warning followed less
than a half an hour later, this time for a storm located in Andover. The storm
moved northeast around 30 mph into Coventry and Mansfield. Several trees and wires were taken down in
Mansfield of route 195 and Depot Road. A barn collapsed and a tree uprooted in
Coventry.
Then the pics and video of a funnel cloud started rolling
in. These “doppler indicated” tornadoes
can turn out to be actual tornadoes!
More scattered thunderstorms are a guarantee Thursday. The
threat for a tornado isn’t zero but it’s very small. Any storm that develops
can produce heavy rain and poor drainage flooding. A cold front will help wash
some of the humidity out of the air by Thursday night. But the front will stall nearby keeping
plenty of clouds around Friday and the threat for a shower or two.
Tonight: Leftover storm, otherwise mild and muggy. Low: Near
70
Tomorrow: Mostly cloudy and muggy with scattered showers and thunderstorms. Any storms that develop could produce poor drainage flooding. High: Low to mid 80s
