Pennsylvania New York New Jersey Maryland & Virginia could see severe storms in the mix Sunday

The weekend begins with the old back door cold front across Virginia and the onshore flow which is keeping things rather cloudy cool and raw. Unlike the last couple of days where the clouds did burn off for the most part today it will be more of a struggle. Satellite loops show clouds locked in well inland and it is unlikely that we will see these clouds burn off. This means temperatures today will likely stay in the 50s all day with readings closer to 50 near the coast. While the radars are not picking up much, there is spotty drizzle around and that will be the case for most of the day especially near the coast.
