The first thunderstorm of the year for Keene this evening. Winds gusted to 44mph, with moderate rainfall, and moderate lightning. Not a bad start at all.

Further south is getting rocked even harder by this line of storms. Currently severe thunderstorms moving through north central CT and S MA with heavy rain and damaging winds. There have also been a few reports of hail. In addition, the squall line extended to the south as it progressed to the east and produced a storm with some rotation on radar. NWS issued a tornado warning for Morris County in northern NJ. So far no reports in from that storm however. Reports of scattered power outages in portions of CT and NJ.

Here's a radar picture as the storms approached Keene. Notice also the tor-warned cell in northern NJ.
