Friday Storms

8/15/2008 7:32 AM

Unsettled conditions continue in the East today, with strong storms developing in the major urban centers along the Interstate 95 corridor.

The Severe Weather Center reports the strongest storms will develop later today after daytime heating adds instability to the pool of cool air that is parked over the region.

The strongest storms will produce flooding rain, large hail and gusty winds. Expert Senior Meteorologist Brett Anderson says, "The slow-moving storms will be more widespread on Friday, producing gully washing downpours that could lead to localized flooding."

Strong storms rolled along the I-95 corridor Thursday. Heavy rain forced the closure of a section of the Long Island Expressway, and hail pounded Bayside in Queens. Farther inland, heavy rain sparked street flooding in Reading, Pa.

Temperatures this weekend will be near normal for mid-August, while the absence of humidity will make it feel very comfortable.
