7NEWS meteorologist Jeremy Reiner said the isolated storms will not bring a threat for tornadic activity.
“They’ll be hit and miss, but it’s not going to be an afternoon that features warning, after warning, after warning,” Reiner said.
The storms are expected to clear out by 8 p.m., setting the table for a “delightful” Wednesday, Reiner added.
Southern New Hampshire has since been dropped from the watch.
