Hit & Miss Thunder Later Today

A lurking, dying frontal boundary will provide enough spark for scattered afternoon and evening thunderstorms across parts of the region. Today, like the last couple of days, will not be a wash out for areas impacted by thunder as any storms that pop will do so after midday. However, any outdoor activities that are going on may have a rain delay or two as storms pop up and move north-northeast along the frontal boundary this afternoon and early this evening.

The best chance of thunderstorm activity will be along and west of I-95 today but it will be scattered in nature. NAM modeling (up above) shows that this afternoon into evening could feature some localized heavier rainfall over northern parts of the region with the strongest of storm cells but these stronger storms should be fewer in number than yesterday, which featured less intense storms overall compared to Thursday.   There is no slight risk (as of this morning) for severe weather in the region but that doesn't mean that a storm can't become severe, however.   The strongest of storms could bring some hail and gusty winds but with the dynamics of the past two days not as favorable and the frontal boundary dying these storms should generally be more "run of the mill" and not of the type that drops two inch hail.

For those that don't get thunder'd upon, temperatures will top out in the mid 80's away from the ocean, 70's at the Shore.   Not a bad day at all if you happen to avoid getting a storm or two.

Storms will taper off after sunset, with another chance of pop up storms on Sunday -- this time the storm threat will generally reside to the north of us in the afternoon tomorrow.
