Most of us will stay dry through the day but there is a 20% chance of showers by the evening. Majority of the rain will move in overnight tonight into Saturday morning. Temperatures will top off in the mid 80s with the humidity a little higher than yesterday.
A soggy and cloudy weekend. We will see mostly cloudy skies on Saturday with widespread showers and thunderstorms to start off the day. Rain chances will taper off a bit Saturday evening to Sunday morning. Highs will return to the mid 80s on Saturday but humidity will increase.
