Although there is a risk of severe weather each day this weekend, it is not expected to be a complete washout.
Instead, we will likely see drier periods followed by rounds of storms, some of which could be severe. There is also a threat of flooding with these storms. Looking ahead, the forecast remains unsettled, with large amounts of moisture in the air and the potential for afternoon and nighttime storm clusters.The first half of Saturday should be mostly dry and uncomfortably muggy. With plenty of moisture in the air, thunderstorms are likely to develop in the afternoon hours.
A portion of the day may be hot and mostly sunny, but in the midday or afternoon hours, we are expecting a cluster of storms to move through. As higher resolution model data becomes available, we will fine-tune the forecast. For now, plan for the possibility of storms that will produce frequent lightning, heavy rain, and possibly hail and gusty winds.It seems like we just can’t shake this unsettled weather pattern.
Keep in mind that this disturbance is only a disturbance and is very far away. We will have plenty of time to monitor it. Currently, there is a medium chance of formation within 48 hours and a high chance within 7 days.Dangerous surf and a high risk of rip currents will persist for the next few days at area beaches. Beachgoers should pay attention to beach flags and avoid getting in the water. The surf height is around 3-4 feet. The UV index is extremely high.
