Discussion
The combination of an impressive upper-level short wave, increasingly moist southerly winds, and a surface cold front will generate showers and thunderstorms for the I-95 corridor later today into tonight. The activity is likely to be focused in the time period from mid or late afternoon to late evening and some of the storms can reach strong-to-severe levels with potential damaging wind gusts and hail. The front clears the coast by tomorrow and that'll set the stage for nice weather on Saturday and Sunday with noticeably lower humidity levels. A warm front will approach the region from the southwest early next week and the threat for showers and thunderstorms will increase again in the I-95 corridor by later Monday. This next weather event could feature some soaking rainfall in the local area.
