Good morning everyone. The Northeast continues to be socked in with clouds and we'll have to wait an extra day for the payoff, but nice weather is coming Saturday and beyond. Our slow moving front bringing some rain and rumbles to western Pennsylvania, will slowly slide east and give the region some scattered showers and thunderstorms. Tomorrow evening and/or nighttime will be the best chance to see some heavier thunderstorms in a narrow line across New England down into northwest New Jersey.

While we are obviously watching the approach of our tropical system into the Florida Panhandle as well as a heavy lashing on the west coast of the state, we currently have some severe weather to contend with in other areas. That cold front hung up in the Northeast and Ohio River Valley, stretches down to the Gulf Coast and is starting to collide with tropical energy well ahead of our system.

Because of this, we are watching strong to severe storms beginning to develop across parts of Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi. Earlier, we saw embedded storms in eastern Tennessee capable of large hail and winds nearing 60mph. Expect this trend to continue and intensify, all while becoming more organized as energy streams north off of the Gulf of Mexico and collides with that front.

Look for the possibility of damaging winds, large hail, frequent lightning, torrential rain, and the risk of a few tornadoes in this region as the day wears on. Due to the nature of this system, we do not expect this action to fizzle out overnight. Heavy showers and thunderstorms, including isolated severe weather, will continue and may also impact interior parts of South Carolina and North Carolina later on today & overnight.

Here is your local NYC Metro forecast -

Look for clouds and the slight chance of a few showers today. It'll be another cool one with the maritime influence with highs in the upper 60's at best.

We have a better chance of rain tomorrow, with some heavy showers and thunderstorms possible in the evening hours through about 12am. It'll be muggy with highs in the mid 70's. We'll have more mid 70's on Friday with clouds and the slight chance of showers.

Clouds slowly decrease on Saturday with mid 70's, then a little extra sunshine on Sunday with more mid 70's.
