Discussion
Numerous showers and strong thunderstorms have developed from central Virginia to north-central Pennsylvania and they will head northeast over the next several hours ahead of a powerful cool frontal system. As a result, showers and strong-to-severe thunderstorms are possible in the region between 4 and 10PM and some of the storms will contain gusty winds, frequent lightning and heavy downpours. A widespread severe thunderstorm outbreak is not likely, but isolated instances of damaging winds (60+ mph) and hail are possible. Much cooler and less humid air pours into the region tomorrow, but we’ll have to pay the price first.
