The First Warning Storm Team is tracking rain and storms for your weekend. The weekend won’t be a washout, but scattered rain/storms are possible.
Partly cloudy overnight with lows in the mid 70s.
The stationary front will still be over the area heading into Saturday, giving us a chance for a few scattered showers and storms. Otherwise, expect partly sunny skies with highs in the mid to upper 80s. A cold front will cross the region late Sunday into Sunday night. The best chance for showers and storms will be Sunday afternoon and evening. Heavy rain is possible with these storms. Highs will be in the upper 80s to lower 90s.
Monday will be drier with a lingering shower in the morning and drier conditions as the day progresses. High pressure will build in Monday through Wednesday giving way to mostly dry conditions and comfortable humidity and temperatures.
Have a good weekend!
