 Within this zone, thunderstorms will be capable of producing downpours that cause flash flooding, plus some hail, damaging wind gusts, and possibly some tornadoes. As the cold front that serves as the focus for this activity shifts toward the eastern seaboard into Saturday, the severe threat in the form of strong wind and a flooding risk moves more toward the coast from southern New England into the southeast, followed by a bit of a reprieve from the recent humidity to end the weekend.
