This afternoon will see storms develop once again, and possibly earlier in some neighborhoods.
“Between roughly 3 and 5 pm, heavy showers and thunderstorms will develop. We’ll likely get a couple of isolated cells before that as early as 1 or 2 o’clock in the afternoon. And then the majority of the storms developing and spreading eastward again all the way to the beaches.”, said Buresh.
Showers and storms hang around for Friday afternoon, too. A wind shift to off the Atlantic Ocean will push rain and storms farther inland over the weekend.
Temperatures will be right at average in the low 90s both Saturday and Sunday. Back to work and school and Monday will be partly sunny with a few afternoon showers and storms.
