“We have a very sluggish pattern aloft with weak wind flow that will continue for the next several days”, Boyd said. The stationary front will linger over the Mid-Atlantic into Friday and the start of the weekend, giving way to scattered rain and thunderstorms.

SATURDAY: Clouds increase as a cold front approaches from the northwest. Portions of the viewing area are in a risk for severe weather as damaging winds and large hail are possible. The clouds will disperse and we’ll end up with mostly sunny skies and highs in the upper-70s. Low in the lower 60s.
The models, which don’t always handle short-term severe weather well, appear to keep southern New England from getting much in the way of activity from this entire system. “It should fall over several days which would not normally present a problem”. The areas most likely to see thunderstorms include south-central South Dakota near the Highway 14 corridor. Cloudy, with a high near 82. Low around 63. Southeast wind around 5 miles per hour becoming calm. We’re still looking at a 40% chance of rian. A chance for showers and a thundershower or two increases after midnight tonight as the low gets a little closer. Partly cloudy. Lows around 65. South southwest wind around 6 miles per hour.
Afternoon showers and thunderstorms are expected to develop around mid afternoon, and then last through the evening.
Saturday: Sunny, with a high near 93. Rain chances are still up near 50% with highs between 86-87°.
