We’ll have a few spotty afternoon showers and isolated thunder Friday afternoon and late Saturday. Beyond that, it will be hot and dry as a heat wave develops next week.

Some minor shower chances Friday and Saturday

A couple minor, fast moving upper level disturbances will touch off enough instability combined with some day time heating to produce some isolated to spotty showers and some thunder Friday and Saturday afternoons.
