Chief Meteorologist Patrick Rockey 's First Warning Forecast
The good news: the weekend will not be a washout. The bad news: we are expecting more showers and storms on Saturday.
Slow-moving storms have been developing along a stationary front, leading to flooding downpours. That front should slowly dissipate on Saturday, but not before bringing more scattered showers and storms.

The second half of the weekend is looking much drier and much hotter. We'll be topping out in the low 90s with just a 20 percent chance for a stray storm.
As high pressure builds in across the region, we're expecting increasingly hotter and more humid weather for the first part of the work week.

Expect highs in the mid-to-upper 90s with feels-like temperatures close to, if not above, 110 degrees.
A big pattern shift begins toward the end of the work week, with a Canadian cold front moving in.

That will bring significantly cooler, less humid weather as we head toward the end of July.
