A weakening cold front will bring a chance for scattered mainly afternoon/evening showers and storms today. Only about half the area is expected to see rain. Any storm that develops could be strong, but widespread severe weather is not expected. Behind that front, lower humidity and pleasant temps will bring nice weather to the area Friday and Saturday. A return of humidity will bring a chance for an afternoon shower or storm on Sunday, with better rain chances coming Monday.
A tropical system in the Gulf is expected to become the first tropical storm of the season within the next 48 hours. That system will impact Florida this weekend. This storm will not bring rain to our area. Hurricane season began yesterday.

This model runs from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. today, in one-hour increments. This particular model is very discouraging if you want rain. Hopefully, other guidance that suggest more scattered showers than this will verify.
