Trees Down As Hail and Storms Batter Northeast

Severe weather battered the Northeast on Saturday as storms stretched across the I-95 corridor from Washington D.C. to Portland, Maine. The National Weather Service confirmed that a radar-indicated tornado touched down in Massachusetts in the town of Holden near Worcester.

Meteorologist Jennifer Gray noted, “There were several reports of hail across Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Maryland varying in size from quarter to ping pong ball. However, the majority of the storm reports were due to wind damage. Numerous trees and power lines were downed as the storms ripped across the I-95 corridor.”

In New York, a game at Yankee Stadium was delayed almost two hours amid the storm.

Tornado touches down in Holden after severe thunderstorms hit Massachusetts

The National Weather Service confirmed that a tornado touched down in Holden, Massachusetts, on Saturday afternoon. 

The tornado was radar confirmed around 4:07 p.m. It appears as though it was only on the ground for a short period of time before lifting. "Radar confirmation" means that while it wasn't observed by the naked eye, there was enough evidence on radar to confirm the existence of a tornado. 

Forecasters also use something called the correlation coefficient, a method of radar that can detect when debris is tossed into the air from a tornado touchdown. 

A velocity scan on radar also showed the tightening of winds, which is what prompted the National Weather Service to issue a tornado warning in Worcester and Middlesex County until 4:45 p.m. on Saturday.
