First Alert Summary

It was a beautiful start to the weekend today with bright sunny skies and highs in the low to mid 80s but clouds will begin to slide over the area tonight ahead of our next system with lows in the middle 60s.

Sunday our pattern turns unsettled. Scattered showers and storms can be expected across the Midlands starting in the late morning and continuing through the afternoon and evening. After lunchtime, one or two of these storms may be strong or severe. If this happens, it would be for occasional wind gusts up to 40-60 MPH. After sunset, leftover showers will clear out as drier air filters in.

Behind this system high pressure will build over the eastern half of the country setting up another straight of beautiful weather with mostly sunny skies Monday through Thursday with below normal temperatures in the lower 80s for highs.

Then Friday into next weekend, we’ll be watching for the potential of a low pressure system to develop off the coast of Georgia. This could be the source of our some scattered showers/storms next weekend.
