After some pleasant and dry air, New England is transitioning back into humidity gradually today, but that clash of air has already set off showers for some and will set off more for others. By Saturday night and Sunday, humidity is well-established and that may lead to more severe thunderstorms later Sunday. Matt has all the details in our Weekend Edition video.
