Latest Forecast

A few showers Saturday, with sunshine returning Sunday

Saturday starts off fairly quiet, but don’t let the sunshine fool you, it's going to be another muggy day across the area. We’ll see a mix of clouds and sunshine through the morning, with temperatures quickly warming into the 80s. By the afternoon, we’ll have enough heat and moisture around to spark scattered showers and thunderstorms. Not everyone will see rain, but if a storm develops near you, it could produce a quick downpour, gusty winds and plenty of lightning.
