Weather Underground Forecast for Saturday, July 05, 2008.

A lingering front extending from New Jersey down to the Southern Plains will continue to produce showers and thunderstorms across the Mid-Atlantic states on Saturday. Severe weather is not expected, but the region should still expect to see heavy rain and strong winds associated with the storms. The Boston area will remain mostly cloudy, but the rest of New England should see mostly sunny skies as a result of high pressure building in behind the front.
