First Warning Forecast - Drying out and warming up!
A mix of sun and clouds though midday and this afternoon after the line of showers and storms earlier this morning. A scattered shower is possible this afternoon, but most areas will stay dry with highs warming into the low 80s today, 10+ degrees warmer than yesterday.
Some leftover showers and storms will linger for Saturday. It's going to be partly sunny with highs in the low 80s for most of us, but keep an eye out for any shower or storm that could briefly disrupt your plans. Also, the risk for rip currents is high for area beaches today and be mindful of the risk for Saturday.
Sunshine returns for Sunday and Monday. However, highs will fall short of 80s as temperatures cool to around 70 for Sunday and Memorial Day. Rain chances will remain low for most of next week with a steady climb back to the 80s.
