Discussion
A couple of low pressure systems will move southeastward along a boundary zone and keep it very unsettled around here right into tomorrow. As a result, there will be occasional rain and thunderstorms - some of the rainfall will be heavy at times; especially, tonight, and some of the thunderstorms can reach strong-to-severe levels. The weekend will likely turn out quite nice thanks to sprawling high pressure across the Upper Midwest and Northeast US. Elsewhere, low pressure will try to form near or just off the Southeast US coastline this weekend and then head out towards the open ocean. However, beyond that there are signs that it could actually "back-in" towards the Mid-Atlantic coastline early next week and we'll have to monitor that possibility in the coming days.
