Update: Severe thunderstorm watch on for region

Severe thunderstorms remain in the forecast for this afternoon.

Whether the storms develop or not depends on how much sunshine breaks through the cloud cover.

The National Weather Service explains it this way: "If breaks of sun can occur, it will allow the airmass to destabilize. Given sufficient destabilization, thunderstorms should develop this afternoon and evening.''

And if all of that happens, the weather service says "the storms could be severe with strong gusty winds and torrential downpours" and lightning.

At this time, a "severe thunderstorm watch" is on for parts of the region until 9 p.m. tonight. They include: northern Rhode Island, much of Connecticut, most of Massachusetts, southwest Maine, southern and central New Hampshire, eastern and southeastern New York and southern Vermont.
