A flood watch is in effect for much of the area.

The weekend will stay quite muggy with many dry hours both days, mostly during the morning through around noon. Scattered storms will be around in the afternoons and evenings both days, with the highest chance after around 3 p.m. Highs will be 85-90 Saturday and in the low to mid 80s on Sunday.
