Tornadoes and damaging winds will be the primary weather risks with this severe set-up. The hail potential is low. The cold front will sweep through the Middle Atlantic during the day, bringing a few severe thunderstorms. Heavy rain and isolated severe storms into the Northeast. Rain totals will be anywhere from 1-4" with locally higher amounts possible. Flooding from heavy rain will be another hazard, especially in flood prone areas.
