Thursday was quiet, but Friday is expecting to see some more storms in the forecast.  The models are advertising late day (maybe evening thunderstorms).  We are under a slight risk for severe weather again.  Remember that means that the area has a higher risk for severe weather than a typical day with thunderstorms.  The models do show the strongest upper level energy further North towards Pennsylvania and New York.  However we will still see strong southwest winds on Friday outside of any storms.   Winds may gust up to 30mph at the surface.  Sometimes when there are strong winds at all levels from one direction it makes it tough for storms to grow in height.  We’ll see if the instability will overcome this feature.  A cold front will approach Friday evening.  That will probably be the trigger for storms, and it may be why the models aim for that time of day.
