Thunderstorm chances persist through much of the weekend, but there will be many dry hours between waves of showers and storms. The outflow boundary from Friday night's storms will be a potential focal point for additional showers and storms Saturday afternoon. The large majority of the area and time will remain dry, but an isolated storm or two remain possible through the day. Higher coverage of storms may be possible toward Saturday evening/night.
The Storm Prediction Center has maintained their Level 1/5 Marginal Risk for severe weather, indicating one or two storms may reach near severe limits. Limited forcing and shear will prevent more widespread and organized severe potential during the daytime. Better organization looks possible with the evening wave.
Another threat for severe weather exists Sunday. This will be more of a "watch and see" event compared to Saturday, as it depends on how Saturday night's storms evolve. Similar to Saturday, the large majority of Sunday should be dry, but any storms that develop from the West may pose a risk for severe weather as they progress East across the area. This may be another late evening risk, like Friday night.
Both days this weekend will be very summer-like with warm and even humid conditions. Afternoon highs will push into the mid-80s. Isolated storms remain possible each day, but both afternoons appear to be relatively dry compared to the evening/nighttime windows.
