Hot and humid conditions will continue through the weekend, with temps reaching near/above 90 for many. With that, we will see the chance for rounds of storms, especially tonight through tomorrow! Some may be strong to severe!

Repeated rounds of thunderstorms are expected tonight into Saturday morning, with locally heavy rainfall possible, especially along and south of Interstate 80. Flash flooding will be possible! Thus, a Flood Watch has been issued for I-80 and south!
