Hail, high winds, high temperatures, thunderstorms, and tornadoes are all in the forecast across five mid-Atlantic states, according to the National Weather Service.

Hail up to two inches in size, fast-moving thunderstorms, and 70-mile-per-hour winds may hit homes in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware, and Virginia between noon and 7 p.m. on Friday.

The stormy weather will give way to possibly record setting heat and humidity in the region, Accuweather forecasters say, only to have another bout of thunderstorms hit on Sunday evening — mostly likely returning the heat and humidity to normal levels by Monday, experts at both outlets say.
