Potential for T-Storms on Tuesday

Print Story | Email Story
Tuesday's hot, muggy weather brings with it the potential for severe thunderstorms across the region. 
 
The National Weather Service has issued a hazardous weather outlook until 8 p.m. on Tuesday. The Albany, N.Y., office says there is a "slight" risk for T-storms across most of eastern New York and Western Massachusetts. These storm systems could bring damaging wind gusts and there is isolated chance for a tornado. The NWS says this is a secondary threat "but cannot be ruled out." 
 
Accuweather reports that the jet stream's shift northward will bring higher temperatures this week after a relatively cooler period at the beginning of July. 
 
"High pressure that provided more comfortable, average conditions the past few days will exit eastward in favor of more heat and humidity into Wednesday," AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Matt Rinde explained.
 
Accuweather says much of the Northeast will be in line for rain into Wednesday, with moderate risk for damaging winds across most of eastern New York, Western Mass and Vermont during the day Tuesday.
 
The stormy weather is forecast to continue on Sunday and Monday after a cooler and drier Friday and Saturday.

Veteran Spotlight: Army Sgt. John Magnarelli

By Wayne SoaresSpecial to iBerkshires
PLYMOUTH, Mass. — John Magnarelli served his country in the Army's 82nd Airborne Division and the 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment in Vietnam from May 4, 1969, to April 10, 1970, as a sergeant. 
 
He grew up in North Quincy and was drafted into the Army on Aug. 12, 1968. 
 
"I had been working in a factory, Mathewson Machine Works, as a drill press operator since I graduated high school. It was a solid job and I had fallen into a comfortable routine," he said. "That morning, I left home with my dad, who drove me to the South Boston Army Base, where all new recruits were processed into service. There was no big send off — he just dropped me off on his way to work. He shook my hand and said, 'good luck and stay safe.'"
 
He would do his basic training at Fort Jackson, S.C., which was built in 1917 and named after President Andrew Jackson. 
 
"It was like a city — 20,000 people, 2,500 buildings and 50 firing ranges on 82 square miles," he said. "I learned one thing very quickly, that you never refer to your rifle as a gun. That would earn you the ire of the drill sergeant and typically involve a great deal of running." 
 
He continued proudly, "after never having fired a gun in my life, I received my marksmanship badge at the expert level."
 
He was assigned to Fort Benning, Ga., for Combat Leadership School then sent to Vietnam.
