Highs will be in the mid 70s on Thursday. Rain builds in from the south to the north, starting in the morning, especially during the afternoon and evening.

A few heavy pockets of rain are possible within thunderstorms. A strong to severe storm will be possible across the Coastal empire during the afternoon into the evening.

Rain will still be around from the same system Friday morning. Most of us will dry out during the afternoon with highs near 80. A few showers are still possible during the afternoon into the evening.

Warmer air looks to build in this weekend with highs in the mid 80s on Saturday and lower 80s Sunday. Saturday will be mostly dry, a great day to get outside, for golf especially. Sunday presents a chance for afternoon showers and a storm or two as a front approaches.

Monday looks to be drier with highs near 80. Dry weather should persist on Tuesday with highs back in the lower 80s. Stay tuned for updates!
