Vermont New Hampshire and Massachusetts Face Tornado Risk Thursday While Gulf Coast Tropical System Continues Bringing Tornadoes and Flooding to the Deep South

BURLINGTON, VERMONT — Two separate tornado risk zones are active across the United States today Thursday June 18, with eastern New York, all of Vermont, western New Hampshire, and northern Massachusetts under a tornado probability zone in the Northeast while a tropical system continues wreaking havoc across the Deep South and Gulf Coast with tornadoes and flooding for several days running.

Northeast Tornado Risk Zone Covers Vermont Through Northern Massachusetts

The tornado probability outlook updated June 18 at 3:01 AM ET valid today shows a brown higher probability zone centered over Vermont and western New Hampshire, surrounded by a green outer zone extending into eastern New York, northern Massachusetts, and toward the Manchester and Lowell corridor. This represents a meaningful standalone tornado threat for the Northeast that demands attention from residents across the region Thursday.

The Northeast tornado risk is associated with the broader storm system that produced Wednesday’s Midwest outbreak now tracking eastward through the region.

Tropical System Continues Hammering the Gulf Coast and Deep South

The second tornado risk zone sits across the Deep South and Gulf Coast, where a tropical system has been producing tornadoes and flooding for several days. The brown higher probability zone on the right panel covers Mobile, Columbus Georgia, and the surrounding corridor, with a broader green zone extending from New Orleans and Baton Rouge through Atlanta, Savannah, and toward Jacksonville and Tallahassee.

This tropical system has been described as wrecking havoc across the region for several consecutive days, making it one of the more persistent severe and flooding threats of the season across the Deep South.

Two Simultaneous Tornado Threats Span from New England to the Gulf

The simultaneous presence of tornado risk zones from Vermont and Massachusetts all the way down to the Gulf Coast and Florida reflects the broad reach of today’s active severe weather pattern across the eastern United States. Residents across both highlighted zones should maintain active weather alerts and have tornado shelter plans ready through Thursday.
