For Friday, the Storm Prediction Center is forecasting a marginal risk of severe weather for South Florida. Although there is a lot of uncertainty regarding the timing and intensity of storms, there is the potential for some strong storms that may produce damaging gusty winds, heavy rain, and lightning. There is an isolated risk of severe storms with the threat of a brief tornado or two.

We will remain unsettled late Friday into Saturday due to plenty of moisture associated with a frontal boundary and a low pressure system expected to develop in the Gulf.

Saturday showers are likely with highs in the upper 70s. Sunday the rain chance starts to decrease along with our temperatures. Highs will be closer to the mid 70s on Sunday.
