Friday will feature the lowest rain chance we have seen in a long time. Expect a mostly sunny morning with partly cloudy skies for the afternoon. There will be enough moisture to trigger a few isolated storms in the afternoon to evening, but the coverage will only be at about 20 percent.

High temperatures will be in the mid 90s for most spots away from the water.

Friday night will feature partly cloudy skies going mostly clear, with lows in the mid to upper 70s.

Saturday will start out sunny with skies going partly cloudy. There will be a few more scattered storms in the afternoon to evening, with the rain chance back up to 30 percent. High temperatures will again be near the mid 90s for most spots before the scattered storms kick in.

Sunday will wrap up the weekend in typical summer fashion with a 30 to 40 percent coverage of afternoon to evening scattered storms. Highs will be in the low to mid 90s.

Next week will feature more clouds and a better coverage of scattered storms as a front pushes more moisture back into our atmosphere.
