Scattered thunderstorms are expected in the Hartford area Tuesday afternoon and evening, and some may be severe.
Storms are possible between noon and 8 p.m., the National Weather Service said in an alert. They may include damaging wind gusts, large hail and heavy rain. Brief flooding is possible in places, especially urban areas with poor drainage.
“Those with outdoor plans should keep an eye to the sky and prepare to seek shelter if threatening weather approaches,” meteorologists said in the alert.
