Improving Weather This Weekend

A band of thunderstorms with heavy rain moved slowly up the coast this morning, producing several inches of rain in some locations, causing areas of flooding. Over the weekend, there will still be a chance of scattered downpours, but activity will be less organized. Mainly, we'll see more sunshine and warmer temperatures, with highs reaching the upper 80s. It will feel more like summer for the first day of fall Sunday.

Tropical Depression Ten formed Friday just south of the Florida Panhandle. This system will move west-northwest into Mississippi and Louisiana over the weekend, causing heavy amounts of rain. As this system moves further west of our area, the moisture in the atmosphere should be lower, resulting in less rain for us.
