Chief Meteorologist Patrick Rockey’s First Warning Forecast

After a soggy work week, it looks like it will be less soggy as we head into the weekend.

The frontal boundary that was the focus for showers and thunderstorms throughout the work week will start to break down this weekend.

While we likely will still see some showers and thunderstorms, they will be less numerous.

We expect a 30% chance for storms on Saturday with high temperatures in the mid 80s and there will be some sunshine.

More sunshine is likely on Sunday and fewer storms. We are giving it a 25% chance for wet weather. The trade-off: more sunshine means warmer temperatures. It looks like we will top out in the upper 80s on Sunday.

And the warming trend continues on Monday. Many of us will touch the 90-degree mark. And when you factor in the humidity, it will feel like close to 100°.

A cold front moving in late in the day will likely spark, showers and thunderstorms, and some of them could be severe.

Behind the cold front, temperatures and humidity levels will drop for the rest of the work week.

We are expecting highs in the low-to-mid 80s Tuesday through Friday, with just a slight chance for storms each afternoon.
