Northeast faces another soggy weekend as stalled storm threatens rain for days

If the weekend forecast in the Northeast sounds familiar, that’s because it is. More rain and thunderstorms are expected across the region, marking the sixth out of the past seven weekends that precipitation is in the forecast.

An area of low pressure is slowly approaching from the southwest Saturday, according to the FOX Forecast Center. For most of the day, the shower and thunderstorm activity will be focused across the interior, leaving those along the Interstate 95 corridor dry with temperatures building into the summer-like 80s. 

But it won't last long, the heating of the day will fuel the atmosphere and thunderstorms are forecast to develop by late afternoon and work their way toward the big cities by the evening.
