SE MA Thunder, Thursday Weather, Forecast

A little excitement... I experienced some lightning and thunder early this morning, here in southeastern Massachusetts.

It was nice to hear a nearby thunderstorm [at least one] in the Bristol/Plymouth county area. (I am located in northern Bristol county now, I used to live in northern Plymouth county).

Cool Tom! A rare event at that time of night.

No, Donna. It isn't too rare to have thunderstorms overnight across southern New England. In fact, there have been storms much stronger (even severe) overnight during July, August and some years early September.

Some years there can even be overnight thunderstorms during April, May and June.
