Severe thunderstorm risks rise Friday Pennsylvania New York & New England Friday Into Saturday

It is day 3 of highs in the 80s and skies no worse than partly sunny. For much of Eastern Pennsylvania to Southern New England including Long Island there are no weather issues to worry over today. However we do see the risk for thunderstorms setting up well inland and north of Route 84. The Storm Prediction Center is indicating a marginal risk for isolated severe thunderstorms well inland but we expect those storms to form later today and then disappear after sunset. More humid conditions are taking hold today as dew points rise into the 60s. A weather front across Upstate New York will begin to make progress Friday and drift southward while a wave on the front beings to push the southern portion of that boundary to the east across Pennsylvania. This sets up for a higher chance for downpours and thunderstorms later in the day Friday and Friday night. The Storm Prediction Center is indicating a marginal risk for isolated severe thunderstorms from Northern New Jersey to the Hudson Valley and points northward.
