While widespread severe storms aren’t expected, a few thunderstorms and periods of heavier downpours are possible. Some areas—especially along the east coast—could see repeated rounds of rain, which may lead to localized flooding.
Temperatures will also dip slightly by Sunday, with highs settling into the upper 70s and low 80s and it will be very windy. Wind will be another big story this weekend and into early next week.
