The Boston 25 weather team has issued a weather alert for stormy conditions on Sunday. A level 2 out of 5 risk for severe weather is present across the region with the primary hazard being damaging wind gusts. Large hail is a possibility too, but remains greatest north of Massachusetts.

In the late afternoon through early evening, these storms will progress through Massachusetts. They should be in the Boston area in the 5-8pm timeframe.

Today's Severe Storms: Strong winds, localized tornado
It's about to be a busy afternoon of weather and we want to keep you ahead of today's severe storms. Here are the latest details pertaining to timing, hazards, and local impacts. Severe Threat/Timing: Our severe weather risk has been upgraded today. We're now under a regionwide marginal (1 out of 5) to slight (2 out of 5) risk for scattered severe storms. It will be most active from 2 PM to 8 PM. Local Hazards/Impacts: The top two hazards with any one storm will be fast moving, torrential downpours and damaging wind gusts up to 60 mph. There's also a very low-end chance for a brief, weak tornado this afternoon. Main impacts from today's severe event will include isolated power outages and difficult travel conditions. Rainfall Totals: Our quick-moving cold front will help to limit rainfall totals but when it rains today, just know that it will pour. Today's torrential downpours will have us tallying up to 1+ inch. The heavy rainfall rates have prompted the continuation of our marginal (1 out of 4) risk for excessive rainfall/flash flooding. Please stay extra weather aware and on-guard today.

Video: Heavy rains lash parts of India; deaths reported, flights delayed
Heavy rains hit parts of India during the past week, as a wave of pre-monsoon showers lashed across the country, including major cities like New Delhi, Pune, Goa, and Bengaluru. The India Meteorological Department issued an orange alert for parts of Bangalore, which is expected to continue until May 27. There were also reports of three deaths due to rain-related incidents in the city as well as three fatalities in Tamil Nadu, according to Indian media outlets. The downpour in western, northern and eastern regions of India comes due to the intensifying of Somali Jet, a wind system that traps and transports moisture from the Indian Ocean. Meanwhile in Delhi, many international flights were delayed and diverted as the city received surprising gusty winds, heavy rainfall and hailstorm after a hot and humid day. #WATCH | Delhi received gusty winds, heavy rainfall and hailstorm.
