Increasing rain chances for your weekend.

WWLTV Meteorologist Paton Malone says, “A tropical disturbance to our south will increase the chance for rain Friday.  Expect showers and thunderstorms especially during the late morning and afternoon hours.  This tropical disturbance will stay to our south and eventually move southwest away from the area this weekend, but plenty of moisture from it means rain chances stay elevated this weekend.  There will be times when it's dry, but do expect afternoon showers and t-storms this weekend.  Highs will hover around 90 degrees.”
