Showers and thunderstorms are expected today as a stalled weather line remains over the state. Fortunately, this boundary will lift to the north, allowing for some upper-level smoking over the weekend, which will dry things out for Saturday and Sunday. Expect partly cloudy skies with highs in the 80s.

Daylight saving time ends Sunday!

In the tropics, there are two tropical systems in the Caribbean. The disturbance highlighted in yellow is an area of low pressure near Puerto Rico that is generating showers and thunderstorms over the Greater Antilles. Slow development of this system is possible. The other system, highlighted in red, has been slow to develop this week; however, it is now likely to transform into a tropical depression by the end of the weekend or early next week.
