Expect partly cloudy skies with scattered showers/storms (30-40%) for the afternoon and evening. A strong to severe thunderstorm is possible, with gusty winds and heavy downpours.
Highs will drop into the low 80s on Saturday, close to normal for this time of year. Expect partly cloudy skies with scattered showers/storms (30%). We will warm back to the mid 80s on Sunday. Expect partly to mostly cloudy skies Sunday with another round of showers/storms (50%).
