Friday brings hot, stormy end to the workweek

Published: Updated:

Many locations will reach the mid-90s under increasing cloud cover. Expect slightly warmer weather than what we experienced on Thursday.

Boaters will have no trouble navigating the water to begin the day. Afternoon and evening thunderstorm chances may eventually impact your plans.

Showers and storms will likely hold off until after lunchtime. A few severe storms will be possible.

The strongest thunderstorms will be capable of producing lightning, damaging winds, hail, and localized flooding. For that reason, a level 1/5 severe weather outlook is now in place.

The weekend will bring a similar pattern of heat and rain chances. Unlike Saturday, Sunday’s showers may begin in the morning.

The tropics continue to remain quiet. The Weather Authority does not currently expect any named storms to form over the next five days in the Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean or Atlantic basin
