Summary
A tornado watch covers all of western Maine and parts of central Maine until 7 p.m. Thursday, with the main severe-weather window running from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m.
A line of strong to severe storms is expected to move west to east across the state, bringing torrential downpours and damaging wind gusts as the most likely hazards.
An isolated tornado remains possible, especially in western Maine, though the higher tornado risk is centered farther west in Vermont and New Hampshire.
Periods of rain could develop at any point Thursday, and residents were urged to monitor warnings and watch for dark clouds or thunder as conditions change.
