First Alert Weather: Heavy rain shifts more inland this weekend

More storms expected today but shifting inland through the afternoon First Alert Meteorologist Trevor Gibbs is tracking more storms for the afternoon.

Here’s what the First Alert Weather Team said you can expect for the forecast:

  • This morning is dry and mild with temperatures in the 70s under partly cloudy skies.
  • High temperatures today will be limited to the upper 80s for most places thanks to clouds and rain in the afternoon.
  • Rain will be locally heavy today, mainly along and west of I-95 to Highway 301 in the late afternoon.
  • Slow-moving storms could bring a few inches of rain to a few neighborhoods, which may produce localized flooding.
  • Frequent lightning strikes and gusty winds are also possible in today’s storms.
  • Onshore winds will increase the rip current risk at the beaches to moderate while most rain stays inland away from the beaches.
  • Sunday will feature more inland storms and temperatures near late August averages.
  • Next week will feature a similar pattern with mainly inland afternoon showers and storms.
