[4:15 PM 7/21/22] Tornado warning has been allowed to expire. Severe Thunderstorm Warning until 4:45 pm for towns north of Lowell including Dracut and Tyngsboro.

A tiny slice of Lowell is actually covered by this warning (northernmost sections of Pawtucketville and Centralville). Vast majority of Dracut and Tyngsboro are in this warning.
[4:12 PM - 7/21/22] Standard velocity couplet has weakened, but there has just been another reduction in CC values co-located with the couplet and SRV values are higher than one would expect. Interesting. Need to monitor.
[4:05 PM - 7/21/22] Definitely quite a bit of weakening with this cell over the last little bit. Still definitely rotating though and need to monitor closely. Tornado warning, as of now, expires at 4:15.

[3:46 PM - 7/21/22] Reduced correlation coefficient values are present at roughly the same location as the rotation couplet. Not the most clear cut case ever but a tornado might be ongoing near Templeton/Baldwinville/Gardner.

Also note there is a secondary area of weak rotation on a nearby cell in Ashby. While that is not the main area of concern, it's worth keeping an eye on as that cell passes through Ashby and approaches Mason, Townsend, and Brookline.
[3:40 PM - 7/21/22] Strong rotation near Templeton, Phillipston, Baldwinville ... storm headed toward Fitchburg and Gardner. Tornado Warning on the cell until 4:15 pm.

Tornado Warning in north central MA including Fitchburg area until 4:15 PM. No immediate hazards for Lowell area, but this cell may be in our area around 5 pm. Stay tuned. – at Dracut, MA

[Thu 2.24.22 - 9:45 AM] 6-12" of mainly/all snow tomorrow north of the Mass Pike (including the Lowell area), with less to the south where mixing with sleet is expected. Snow lasts most of tomorrow, but is heaviest from mid morning to late afternoon. #mawx

[10:50 AM 1.29.22] Heavy snow bands have overspread all of eastern MA. Dark green areas are already impressive on their own ... but look at all the yellow.

[Fri 1.28.22 8:00 PM] New map: 15-27" for eastern/central MA. Why the wide gap? Two heavy bands deliver the big totals with most towns seeing at least 20-25" and some higher. In between, area of subsistence brings slightly lower amounts. Some towns in peak banding could see 30".

[Thu 1.27.22 10:30 PM] The trend today has been for more snow Saturday. In fact, this may potentially be understating things. More info: storm.uml.edu/~metweb/newBlo… #umlwxctr #mawx
