The News 12 Storm Watch Team is keeping a close eye on the radar for thunderstorms, as a passing front will be the spark of possible storms.
The good news? This is a fast-moving system, meaning these storms won't stick around long enough to cause major flooding. However, the main threat will be damaging wind gusts topping 55 mph. Timing-wise, expect the bulk of the action between 7 p.m. and 11 p.m., with the most intense conditions likely hitting right between 8 p.m. and 9 p.m. Once the system gets past 11 p.m., things will quiet down and skies will gradually clear out.
Looking ahead to the second half of the weekend what originally looked like the cloudier, wetter of the two days is now shaping up to be not quite as hot, though temperatures will still run above average with sunny skies.
