Through tonight: Some showers or storms are in the broader region by mid-evening. Best odds of anything intense are south of the area. More showers and rumbles invade tonight. Some brief downpours are possible with any activity. Many spots should see a couple tenths of an inch of rain, but isolated higher totals are possible in places hit repeatedly. Lows fall into the mid- and upper 50s.

Tomorrow (Friday): Cool air is more entrenched. Low clouds, some drizzle and fog in the morning should be slow to lift. Clouds keep us stuck in the low or mid-60s for highs as showers become likely during the afternoon thanks to a dip in the jet stream overhead.

Pollen update: Tree pollen is HIGH at 528.43 grains per cubic meter of air. Grass pollen is also HIGH at 26.52 grains, while mold spores are moderate/high.
Springtime storms: As a dip in the jet stream sets up shop over the Northeast through the weekend, several atmospheric disturbances are likely to rotate through. Both of these may spark boisterous showers and some storms. Friday afternoon and Saturday afternoon are of particular focus. While days may end up drier than not in most spots, and widespread severe weather is not a risk, the very cold air aloft can help produce some hail or the type of weak funnel clouds that don’t usually reach the ground.
