WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Strong storms will continue to push through the area this evening before activity starts to dissipate later tonight.

We'll stay mainly dry overnight with another round of showers and storms expected Friday afternoon.

Earlier in the afternoon, the National Weather Service issued a tornado warning for the Wellington and Royal Palm Beach areas. The warning was allowed to expire at 4 p.m.

WPTV First Alert Weather meteorologist Jennifer Correa, who lives near Seminole Pratt Whitney Road, said she was home when she looked outside and saw dark clouds in the distance.

She shared videos of the conditions with her colleagues.

The low-pressure system has moved into the Atlantic just east of northeast Florida. This low will eventually move closer to the mid-Atlantic with plenty of moisture, while our area will be dealing with a trailing cold front attached to the low.

High pressure builds by Saturday and that's when drier conditions will return in time for Memorial Day weekend, but an isolated late-day shower cannot be ruled out.

Afternoon highs will be in the upper 80s through the weekend with more sunshine and a nice breeze.
