Local Weather Concerns:
STORMS: Any storm that forms today will be capable of becoming severe. Those should be very isolated, though chances could be a bit higher for northern Fenterss County. That risk is a bit higher for all of us on Saturday, as t-storm chances increase with an incoming frontal system. The main risk is a damaging wind gust. Always be mindful of that lightning, as well. If you’re close enough to hear thunder, you’re close enough to be struck.
HEAT: Be safe in the heat. Take breaks in the shade and drink plenty of water.

Franklin and the orange shaded and yellow shaded areas of concern will stay out at sea. However, a new area of concern looks to be developing in the eastern Gulf. That system should take shape over the weekend. I’ll keep you posted!
