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.

Flooding Rains From Heavy Showers & Storms Along the Gulf Coast. Good late-morning everyone. After some violent storms yesterday evening in the Northeast, specifically the NYC Metro Area, the area catches a break as far as oppressive humidity.
