Maine and New Hampshire Could See an Isolated Tornado on Friday Night

Over the last few days, we have all been keeping an eye on the approach of what remains of Hurricane Debby.

The storm, which came ashore near Tampa, Florida, early on Monday, brought enormous amounts of rain to many communities in the southeast.

For the last four days, it has churned its way toward New England.  Even though it has been days since it was downgraded to a post-tropical storm, it is still a strong storm.  According to CBS News, its path will take it through the White Mountains of New Hampshire, into Western Maine, and through much of Aroostook County.  The storm brings with it rain and significant winds.  Those in the past could see sustained winds of 35-40 MPH.

In addition to wind and rain, the storm also brings a slight chance of a tornado to the areas it passes through.

According to WCSH 6 meteorologists, there is a chance that we could see a tornado in Maine or New Hampshire.

The article explains that tornadoes are fairly common when it comes to storms like Debby.  It goes on to say that if we were to have a tornado here in Maine, it would probably be very weak, and the greatest chance for it would be in the later evening (9-10 PM).

The chance is slight, but it is still there.

If you get a tornado warning, or any weather alert, on your phone please make sure you take the necessary precautions.
