This weekend will feature drier air in our upper atmosphere, therefore decreasing the number of storms.
The few that form will come much later in the day into the evening and all have a westward movement toward the Gulf of Mexico.
Since there will be fewer storms, expect it to be hotter, with highs in the mid 90s both weekend days.
