Mix Of Sun & Storms In The Friday & Weekend Forecast

MIAMI (CBS4) -- What a difference a day makes. Friday morning, South Florida woke up to mostly dry conditions with the return of some sunshine across the area.

There were just a few showers in the early morning hours in the Florida Keys.

Most of the moisture that sparked the storms Thursday has pushed off to the South and some drier air in the mid to upper levels of the atmosphere is settling in across most of the state.

South Florida should enjoy a little a break from the wet weather through late morning, however, Friday afternoon scattered storms will develop due to a trough of low pressure still lingering to our North and West, and the sea breeze.

The best chance for rain will likely be across the Southern sections and the East Coast Metro areas. A few of these storms could be strong and may produce downpours in spots, gusty winds and lightning.

As we head into the weekend, it'll remain warm and humid with highs in the upper 80s.

With dry air place, it looks like South Florida will deal with more of our average rainy season pattern Saturday and Sunday with a 30% chance of afternoon and evening storms.
