National Weather Service Issues Severe Thunderstorm Warning

This evening's commute looks to be a bit stormy as the National Weather Service recently issued a Severe Thunderstorm Warning for New Haven County.

The warning will be in effect until 6:30 p.m. A Severe Thunderstorm Watch will remain in effect for the county until 10 p.m.

Golf ball-sized hail and winds in excess of 70 mph are not out of the question, according to the severe weather alert on the Weather Channel's website.

Some notes of caution from the National Weather Service: "This is a dangerous storm. If you are in its path prepare immediately for damaging winds, destructive hail and deadly cloud to ground lightning. People outside should move to a shelter preferably inside a strong building but away from windows."
