Weather Now: Warm Friday With An Afternoon Shower/Storm, Unsettled Weekend Ahead

Good morning everyone! If you’re a fan of the sunshine and warm temperatures, be sure to enjoy it today because we have changes on the way for the weekend and beyond. Look for plenty of sunshine for today with afternoon showers and storms possible, especially away from the coast. Not every community will see wet weather but the chance is there as a frontal system moves through. Also, as of yesterday we are now in the official start of hurricane season.

A warm start to the day will allow for our temperatures to warm up even more as we approach lunch time. Near 80 by 11AM away from the coast.

That summer feel continues into the afternoon as well with mid to upper 80s expected inland. More like 70s down at the beaches with a southerly wind and sea breeze that will develop.

The heaviest of the showers/storms should be to our north, but some gusty storms could move through our area.

The weekend will feature cool, damp and breezy weather with highs only in the 50s.
