Clouds have started to clear across the Tri-State and those will continue to ebb and flow through the overnight tonight. Overnight will be dry and mild, with temperatures into the low to mid 60s. Skies should be partly cloudy overall.

This weekend, we are not in the clear when it comes to rain. But, if you had to pick a day for outdoor plans, Saturday is probably the better option. Saturday will be partly cloudy with highs in the mid 80s. It will also be much more humid outside. It will be more summer-like than anything we have seen this week.

As the heat builds so will our chance at a few isolated showers and storms. This are most likely to pop up for a few hours in the afternoon between 1 p.m and 7 p.m. But "isolated" is the key word here. A lot of locations could go through Saturday without any rain.

Sunday is a day that we must watch closely. The SPC has issued a "slight risk" of severe storms for Sunday afternoon and evening. This includes the risk for damaging wind gusts, isolated tornadoes and large hail. In fact, there is potential that hail could reach as large as 2 inches in diameter.

The strength of storms and timing of this activity will be influenced by the first round of rain in the morning hours. So keep checking back in for the latest forecast as we get closer to Sunday. The best timing for now looks to be between 1 p.m. to 7 p.m., but it is something we will continue to monitor going forward.

Once the front passes through, overnight Sunday into Monday, we will see some cooler air move in for the early parts of the week. Temperatures will only make the mid to upper 70s and low 80s. Both days also bring the potential for some more rain as well.
