We are only expecting a few spotty downpours Friday night into Saturday morning. By 1-3 p.m. Saturday, we will see the start of widespread thunderstorms. Some rain could be heavy, leading to flooding. These high rain chances will last well into Saturday night.Sunday will bring the possibility of rain at any time of the day, with bands of heavy rain moving in from the Atlantic. The biggest difference will be the strong wind gusts, which could reach 30-40 mph.Rainfall totals are expected to range from 1-3 inches this weekend, but isolated areas that receive back-to-back, slow-moving storms could see 6 inches or more. Those are the areas where flooding is possible.Stay updated with Local 10 as we fine-tune the details on the high-impact weather moving in.
