First Alert Weather: Both dry and rainy conditions this weekend

Here’s what the First Alert Weather Team said you can expect in the Friday evening forecast and beyond:

• The weekend will have some rain at times, but plenty of dry hours as well. The tendency will be for overnight and morning showers, and a thunderstorm that will then shift more inland through the afternoon. A mix of sun and clouds with highs in the mid to upper 80s.
• There will be a moderate to high rip current risk at area beaches this weekend.
• Next week will turn a little hotter, but still with at least a few showers and storms each day. Highs will be 90-95, a little lower at the beaches.
• Jags Sat. evening: Partly cloudy, a brief shower, in the 80s.
• Back to School Monday: Partly sunny, hot & humid with a few midday & afternoon showers & storms. Highs in the upper 80s to low 90s.

Tropics

• Weak low pressure is still forecast to develop over the Western Atlantic but then move northeast away from any land areas.
• A tropical wave over the East Atlantic has the potential to develop but should turn more north next week over the open Atlantic.
• Another wave coming off the coast of Africa this weekend has long-range potential – week after next – but way too early to determine any track.
