First Alert Chief Meteorologist Mike Bureys says our drier weather pattern has arrived. Only a few isolated showers this evening then brief isolated showers Saturday will be near the coast in the morning and well inland in the afternoon but most areas will stay dry with highs in the low 80s at the beaches to mid 80s inland.

You can expect a wet weekend, especially today, with scattered showers and thunderstorms. Meghan Smith says we are tracking Francine’s remains, which have stalled out over north-central Arkansas and will continue to weaken as we continue through the weekend.

HAZARD, Ky. (WYMT) - Temperatures across the mountains are sitting in the mid to high 80s as we sit five plus degrees above average for today’s highs. As we head into the next couple days we stay warmer than normal.

ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) - Our dreary weather continues into the weekend, resulting in two First Alert Weather Days Saturday and Sunday.

The rain that was originally on track to hit us directly is now more likely to track west of us, but some lighter rainfall will still be possible locally. Temperatures will remain above average heading into next week.
