Discussion              

It’ll remain warm today ahead of an approaching cold front and the chance of showers will increase in the afternoon…maybe even a late day/early evening strong-to-severe thunderstorm.  The best chance for a strong-to-severe thunderstorm will likely end up being across southern New Jersey and the Delmarva Peninsula. It’ll turn cooler on Friday following the passage of the cold frontal system with a chilly air mass moving into the northeastern states. High pressure with its origins in Canada will take control of the weather and there may be only limited sunshine on Saturday, but plenty on Sunday.
