 Welcome to Friday

Out ahead of the approaching cold front temperatures are going to be hot and very humid today. The tropical air mass is going to give plenty of fuel for storms that develop to turn strong to severe. As I indicated they might; the Storm protection center (SPC) has raised the alert level to a Slight Risk for severe weather today. 

The cold front is going to slowly move south and east across the region Bringing scattered rain showers and thunderstorms. Storms that form this afternoon and evening will be capable of Strong straight line damaging wind gust, torrential downpours,  some hail and frequent lightning. I can't completely rule out an isolated tornado. Conditions today should improve north to south as the front moves through. Tonight the storms should end for most of the region as the cold front crawls south and east. Tomorrow morning the cold front will have stalled just south of the Mason Dixon line. New York State and New England should have a mostly rain free day with temperatures slightly cooler and less humid than they have been. But for much of Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware and New Jersey there will still be the risk for scattered rain showers.

Saturday overnight and Sunday morning the stationary front will start to move north as a warm front bringing scattered rain showers and thunderstorms with it. As this warm front continues to move north across the region temperatures and humidity will rise. Then during the afternoon and evening a cold front will move into the region bringing a greater risk for scattered showers and thunderstorms. Some of these storms might be strong to severe. Next week overall temperature should be more in the way of seasonal.  For Monday high pressure will temporarily move in overhead bringing the risk for a few isolated showers. For Tuesday a trough will be moving through bringing scattered rain showers and thunderstorms. For Wednesday another quick shot of high pressure will move in overhead but there will still be the rest for a few isolated showers here and there.  Then for Thursday another trough will move into the region once again bringing scattered rain showers and some thunderstorms On Friday the trough will be nearby keeping the risk for scattered showers and some thunderstorms in the forecast.

Have a nice and safe weekend!
