Damaging winds of 60 miles per hour or more and large hail of about 1-inch in diameter are the main threats, the National Weather Service said in a statement early Saturday morning.
"An isolated tornado is also possible," the statement added, noting there is also a chance for flash flooding with rainfall rates of 1 to 2 inches an hour possible in some spots where there are the heaviest downpours.
Saturday has started off with a mix of sun and clouds on a day in which the high temperature will be in the mid-80s.
After the system pushes through, the second half of the weekend will be mostly sunny on Sunday, Aug. 13 with a high temperature in the mid-80s, except in eastern New England, where there could be pop-up storms.
It will remain mostly sunny during the day on Monday, Aug. 14 with a high temperature generally in the low 80s before more unsettled weather is expected to return overnight into Tuesday morning, Aug. 15.
