Severe thunderstorms possible Saturday in Massachusetts

After a stormy night, more thunderstorms are headed to Massachusetts over the weekend.

Thunderstorms on Friday are expected to end shortly after daybreak. Although there is a slight risk of an isolated shower and thunderstorm or two, the day is expected to mostly be dry.

However, the rain returns on Saturday. National Weather Service forecasters predict scattered showers and thunderstorms developing during the afternoon. A few of those stores are expected to become strong to severe.

The Berkshires are likely to see storms first around 2 p.m. Other parts of Western and Central Massachusetts can expect storms to start around 4 p.m. Saturday. Boston and Cape Cod might not see storms until Saturday night.

The rain isn’t expected to let up either. Forecasters predict rain throughout most of next week.
