The last day of this brutal air mass has finally arrived. A cold front is approaching and it will move through and offshore later tonight and Thursday morning. Ahead of that front late this afternoon we will see thunderstorms and elevated severe weather risk. This front is likely to set off a line of thunderstorms so it seems likely that most of you will at the very least see one. The Storm Prediction Center has a slight risk for severe weather from Northeast Virginia to Maine and this includes all the major cities along the I-95 corridor.

Conservatives have done the United States a huge favor by explaining in detail what they’ll try to do if Donald Trump is reelected. Project 2025 , a “presidential transition project” of the Heritage Foundation, helpfully lays out how a group of former Trump officials would like to transform the country into a right-wing dystopia where the rich thrive and the rest of us die aspiring to be rich.
