Discussion
Scattered showers are likely here today for the mid-day and afternoon hours and there can be a thunderstorm or two later in the day. All of this activity today is associated with a frontal system working its way through the region and there can be brief downpours with any thunderstorm that forms this afternoon. The weekend will feature slight improvement for Saturday with warm conditions and the chance for some sunshine, but a few showers and thunderstorms cannot be ruled out and then it’ll go back downhill for Sunday. Copious amounts of moisture are headed our way for Sunday and we’ll experience occasional rain as we close out the weekend - maybe even a strong-to-severe thunderstorm - and some of the rain is likely to be on the heavy side. The weather should clear here early next week, but we’ll turn noticeably cooler by mid-week. Elsewhere, a tropical storm may form in the Gulf of Mexico by late this weekend or early next week and it could cut a path right across Florida potentially bringing with it some flooding rainfall.
