Severe Threat Gone For Tonight

The air is extremely stable, so the threat for severe storms has diminished tonight. Isolated strong storms will still be possible between 10 AM and 4 PM tomorrow, especially east of I-95. I'll have another update tomorrow morning.

Quick Update - 8 PM

Scattered showers continue to move across the area and more are developing to the south. We will see periods of showers through the night with isolated thunderstorms. The strongest storms could contain damaging winds and small hail. There is also a slight chance for a weak tornado or two.

Isolated thunderstorms will still be possible through midday tomorrow, especially east of I-95. The chances for rain diminish by late afternoon and into the evening.
