Strong storms producing gusty winds are possible along the leading edge of the line of storms.
Here’s what the First Alert Weather Team said you can expect:
- Saturday will begin dry, warm, and breezy then heavy showers and thunderstorms will spread west to east from mid-morning through the afternoon.
- A few strong storms will be possible, but the big story will be the much-needed soaking. Everyone will get rain with amounts averaging a half inch to 1.5”, locally 2”+.
- Skies will clear later Saturday night leading to a beautiful day Sunday; cooler, breezy, less humid, and lots of sun with highs only in the 70s.
- The workweek will begin nice and cool with temperatures inland in the 40s early Monday then afternoon highs near 80 with comfortable humidity.
- Temperatures warm again by Tuesday and Wednesday – 80s to near 90. The next front arrives Thursday with another opportunity for at least some rain.
