The northeastern United States will be sandwiched between two storm systems this weekend, which may work out with dry conditions both days in some areas, but not everywhere.
The same part of the massive storm over the Central states that is forecast to produce severe weather into Thursday night of this weekwill swing through the Northeast late Friday and Friday night.
Thunderstorms may still pack a bit of a punch in parts of eastern Ohio, western and central Pennsylvania, western and central New York state, West Virginia, western Maryland and western and central Virginia from Friday afternoon to Friday evening.
A few locations can be hit with damaging wind gusts and small hail. However, the most common characteristics of the storms will be downpours that can cause brief urban flooding and blind motorists on the highways.
The thunderstorms are likely to lose strength upon pressing eastward later Friday night and Saturday morning upon reaching the Interstate 95 corridor from Massachusetts to Virginia.
A punch of dry air is forecast to chase away clouds and showers across much of New England, the central Appalachians and even the upper part of the mid-Atlantic coast as Saturday progresses.
However, farther to the south from portions of West Virginia, Virginia, Maryland and Delaware, clouds may be stubborn to break and showers may crop up from time to time into the afternoon and perhaps the evening as well.

During much of the day on Sunday, dry weather and sunshine are in store for New England and perhaps most of the mid-Atlantic coast. But farther to the south and west, clouds and rain are expected to gather as the next storm approaches.
Rain will then overspread the coastal mid-Atlantic and western and southern New England late in the day and at night on Sunday.
The storm slated to close out the weekend in the Northeast is expected to bring severe thunderstorms and tornadoes to the South.
However, in the Northeast, it is anticipated to be mostly a drenching rain producer.
Monday is likely to be rainy and mild across much of the region. A few heavier thunderstorms may join in over the central Appalachians and mid-Atlantic coast.
However, in part of eastern New England, an easterly wind may hang on and create raw conditions along the coast.
It is possible that enough rain will fall on part of northern New England, where there is still a substantial amount of snow on the ground, to cause urban and small stream flooding from later Monday to Tuesday.
Dry weather is forecast to return to the mid-Atlantic and southern New England on Tuesday.
