Pop-up storms return on Friday but are less numerous.
TONIGHT
Showers and storms will continue on and off through the evening. The primary risk is heavy rain. Flooding is possible on roadways especially for commuters. The greatest risk will be late afternoon into the early evening.
Storms gradually taper off tonight, mainly before 2 a.m., leaving just a slight chance of lingering showers. Clouds hang around, with lows near 70.
FRIDAY: LESS NUMEROUS STORMS
A stray shower is possible in the morning, then a few showers and thunderstorms move in during the afternoon as a cold front passes through. Coverage looks more isolated than today, but a strong storm can't be ruled out. Highs reach the low 80s, with shower chances lingering into Friday evening.
BEAUTIFUL FOR THE WEEKEND
Skies clear out behind the front. Saturday is mostly sunny with highs in the low 80s, and Sunday stays mostly sunny as well with highs in the mid-80s.
BOATERS AND BEACHGOERS: HIGH RIP CURRENT RISK
Dangerous rip currents are expected today for Atlantic facing beaches. Southerly winds of 15 to 20 mph are expected this afternoon bringing choppy conditions for boaters this afternoon, but at this time no advisories have been posted by the National Weather Service. Boaters and beach goers should remain weather aware because storms can bring rapidly deteriorating conditions this afternoon and on Friday.
The risk for rip currents will ease on Friday to "moderate" and winds will be less strong, from the west at about 5-10 mph.
