The storms will be scattered and in the afternoon and evening on Saturday, June 27. The most likely time frame for storms is between 3 p.m. and 9 p.m. Saturday.
Damaging winds that could cause power outages are the biggest threat, the National Weather Service said in a Hazardous Weather Statement issued early Saturday morning.
It will be a hazy, hot and humid day with the high temperature in the mid 80s, but heat indices of 90 to 95 degrees.
Showers are possible from around 9 a.m. through late Saturday evening.
Sunday, June 28 will also be hot and humid -- conditions making it ripe for more storms. And there's a 50 percent chance for just that on a mostly sunny day with the high temperature in the upper 80s.
The storm chance Sunday is from 1 p.m. until around 9 p.m. Some of the storms could produce small hail and gusty winds, the National Weather Service said.
Rain is much-needed. Other than scattered showers and thunderstorms, the last time a widespread measurable rain happened in the region was two weeks ago.
Skies will clear on Monday, June 29, which will be mostly sunny with a high temperature in the mid 80s.
