A severe thunderstorm warning was issued in parts of Vermont and Connecticut Saturday night, as comfortable daytime air turned humid with a warm front. See all severe weather alerts in your area here.

Saturday was the pick of the weekend as we kept a dry afternoon before showers and storms were set to make their way in out of the west tonight.

Western New England still has a chance for severe weather by the second half of the afternoon and into the evening. The potential for hail, strong wind gusts and rotation will threaten the region Saturday from western Connecticut to southern Vermont.

As these storms push eastward Saturday night, the loss of daytime heating will allow for storms to weaken slightly before arriving to Boston and the southeast.

But showers and storms may still push in early Sunday as a cold front moves through. A line of storms should hold together enough that it will be at least somewhat impactful overnight.

There is an isolated chance for a shower or two in the afternoon but far from a washout. Dry periods and a mix of sunshine will still allow for Sunday to a good one to enjoy the tax-free weekend out at the stores.

Monday will stay dry but showers and storms will again roll in on Tuesday. Another good Wednesday & Thursday ahead before Friday’s chance of rain comes back. Temperatures overall will remain near average with highs in the lower 80s much of the week.
