First Alert Weather: Tracking evening storms

Notes from the meteorologist:

The afternoon has been partly sunny with temperatures. in the 80s at the beaches to the low to mid 90s inland. Storms are firing well inland & moving N/NE & will overspread the viewing area into the early evening.
There will be areas of very heavy rain, gusty winds & frequent lightning. A few of the strongest storms may produce wind gusts 50+ mph & some hail.
Friday will again be hot & humid with scattered showers & storms at just about anytime, but most likely in the afternoon lasting well into the evening as a cool front approaches.
The weekend will be very nice with much lower humidity, allowing overnight lows to fall well down into the 60s… even some 50s for inland SE Ga. while afternoon highs reach the upper 80s.
