The First Warning Storm Team is tracking a soggy stretch ahead. Grab that rain gear!

The frontal system that has been to our south will lift north tonight as a warm front. A chance for rain Monday morning, with more showers and possible thunderstorms in the afternoon. Rain may become heavy at times. We could see anywhere from a half inch to an inch of rain. Highs will be in the upper 70s to near 80. Mostly cloudy throughout the day.

On Tuesday, we’re tracking an area of low pressure that could bring us heavy rain at times. You will want to watch out for localized flooding. This will be a slow moving system. Highs will be in the low and mid 70s. The low will push offshore Tuesday night.

We’re tracking yet another disturbance that will bring us some rain for Wednesday. Showers and possible storms especially in the afternoon. Highs in the 70s. Looks like rain will continue overnight and into Thursday. Expect scattered showers throughout the day on Thursday.

Finally, it is looking like a dry day on Friday! High pressure will build in with highs in the upper 70s. Saturday is looking dry as well with highs in the lower 80s. More showers and storms possible for Sunday as another disturbance moves through the area.
