Discussion
A broad upper-level trough remains in place overhead and is producing enough instability for numerous showers and maybe a thunderstorm or two in the Philly metro region. The threat for rain will continue into the weekend as well and some of the rain on Saturday and Saturday night can be heavy at times. Meanwhile, the storm track of Tropical Storm Henri will become increasingly influenced this weekend by building high pressure over southeastern Canada and this system is likely to turn to the north and intensify into a hurricane – potentially resulting in a direct impact on Long Island or New England by late Sunday.
