First Alert Weather: Staying sticky this weekend
We are waking up to a cloudy and humid start on this Saturday morning, and those sticky conditions are not going anywhere anytime soon. As far as the cloud cover, expect that to stick around through most of the day as well. A weak wave of low pressure is sitting well to our south, but close enough to bring us the increased cloud cover and a chance for showers. A few sprinkles and light showers will be possible Saturday morning, but a better chance for heavier showers and a few rumbles will pop up Saturday afternoon. A washout is not on the way, but do be mindful of dodging a few showers Saturday afternoon. Otherwise, Saturday will be filled with mostly cloudy conditions. Things will dry out Saturday night but remain humid as lows only drop near 70 degrees.
