    A broken line of thunderstorms is currently in eastern Pennsylvania, heading generally east. More storms are expected to develop during the afternoon and evening hours ahead of a cold front currently situated near western Pennsylvania that will pass through overnight. Some of the storms could be strong. There is a slight chance of severe storms everywhere but the coast, according to the National Weather Service Storm Prediction Center. Slightly cooler today than yesterday, but the humidity remains until the cold front clears the coast.

    A dry, comfortable northwest wind tomorrow will usher in high pressure, delivering a sunny weekend. Any remaining clouds should dissipate by the early afternoon hours. Temperatures throughout the state will be around 70 Friday, in the upper 60s on Saturday, and moderating somewhat to the low 70s on Sunday.
