The soggier stretch is kicking off with a bang as severe thunderstorms will continue to threaten portions of the Northeast through Friday evening. On Friday afternoon, a tornado watch was issued across parts of five states as the atmosphere grew more volatile. For parts of central New Hampshire, the tornado watch was the first issued for the area in nearly five years.On Friday evening, power outages in New York state peaked at over 66,000 customers out of power, according to poweroutage.us. National Grid had the vast majority of customers out of power in the state. The number of customers out of power in the state is decreased to around 63,000. The outages then tracked into Massachusetts, putting over 31,000 customers out of power.

Damaging winds, torrential downpours and hail will be the main threats from these storms. There is also a risk for isolated tornadoes, mainly north of Interstate 80.Temperatures will climb to near 80 in both New York City and Philadelphia. Widespread highs in the 60s and lower 70s are expected elsewhere in the Northeast.
“Anyone who wants to take full advantage of the weather and get outside amid the COVID-19 pandemic should do so on Saturday as a turn to a stretch of rainy and dreary weather is on the horizon,” according to Meteorologist.Sunday will mark another shift in the pattern as an area of low pressure moves through the Great Lakes with its sights set on the Northeast and mid-Atlantic, where it will stall for much of next week.
The wettest weather on Sunday will be around the Great Lakes. “A couple of showers may also spread to the I-81 corridor, but most of the I-95 cities will be dry.”

Drenching rain and thunderstorms from the Great Lakes will move into northern New England on Sunday night before sinking southward and stalling as an “upper-level” low pressure area.”The upper-level low pressure area that develops early next week is not an uncommon feature in mid- to late spring,” explained Lundberg.
“They form when disturbances ‘break off’ from the main flow higher up in the atmosphere. Around the periphery of these features, the weather is quite nice with sunshine and warmth. Underneath them, though, it can get quite cloudy, cool and wet.”
Such will be the case where this feature stalls from southern New England into the mid-Atlantic and portions of the Carolinas and eastern Ohio Valley for much of next week.

Along the coast, onshore winds will be strong enough to cause coastal flooding around times of high tide. Early in the week, what is expected to become Arthur offshore of the Southeast coast could also add to the rough surf farther north along the mid-Atlantic coast.meteorologists are also closely watching the budding tropical system for where it tracks beyond Monday. “The storm may head out to sea, but it is not out of the question that it or its moisture gets pulled into the mid-Atlantic or Northeast by this second storm. That would further enhance the risk of heavy rain and flash flooding.”
emperatures so far in May have already been suppressed well below normal in these same locations, with the average temperature falling 6 degrees or more below normal in Burlington, New York City and Scranton and nearly 4 degrees below normal in Boston.
