Discussion
The combination of high low-level moisture content and an incoming frontal system will keep the atmosphere somewhat unstable today in the NYC metro region. As a result, there can be some shower and thunderstorm activity with the highest chance to the north and west of the immediate metro area. After perhaps a little bit of a reduction in the chances for rain on Saturday, a potent system is likely to drop southeast on Sunday from the Great Lakes to the Mid-Atlantic region. This system is likely to bring heavy rain to the Mid-Atlantic region on Sunday and potentially some strong-to-severe thunderstorm activity.
