WEEKEND THAT ARE EXPECTED TO BE IN THE 80S. THE NEXT TWO DAYS. HUMIDITY IS COMFORTABLE, BUT BOY DOES IT COME UP HEADING INTO THE WEEKEND ON SATURDAY. SATURDAY I THINK WILL BE A DAY WHERE WE HAVE THE LEAST AMOUNT OF COVERAGE. I DO THINK THERE WILL BE AT LEAST THE THREAT FOR SOME THUNDERSTORM COMPLEXES TO COME IN LATER IN THE DAY AND INTO SATURDAY NIGHT, AND SOME OF THOSE STORMS COULD BE RATHER STRONG, AND THEN WE’LL LIKELY DEAL WITH ANOTHER WAVE OF OF THUNDERSTORMS.
