I will be away on vacation for the next week, and therefore, will have limited computer access. As a result, I will not be able to update my forecasts. However, I still encourage you to check back here at AtkinsonWeather.com, as several items on the site will continue to update. Normal forecasts will resume on Monday, July 7. I hope you have a nice Fourth of July!

The severe thunderstorm that brought small hail, torrential rain, and a wind gust of 43 MPH to Atkinson last Friday intensified as it crossed the state line and moved into Haverhill, Massachusetts. NECN meteorologist Matt Noyes caught video of the storm as it moved through Haverhill, and produced a prolonged downburst of wind. I've posted the video below, but additional pictures, video and Matt's analysis of the storm can be found on the NationalWeatherOnline.com website, by clicking here.
