WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — High pressure in the western Atlantic will continue to push east and weaken as a trough sweeps east, southeast. This will bring us a good chance of showers and storms Saturday before a cold front sweeps through Sunday morning.

We are in a marginal risk of severe weather mainly Saturday afternoon into early evening across the area. The WPTV First Alert weather team will be watching for strong storms with gusty winds.

Some lingering rain is in the forecast for Sunday — although nothing like the storm activity expected Saturday.

We will dry out for Monday before another front approaches South Florida on Tuesday — once again giving us a good chance of showers and storms.

Then we'll see some quieter weather Wednesday and Thursday with mild temperatures before another system brings us a chance of rain late week/weekend timeframe.

A small craft advisory is in effect through Saturday evening as well as a high risk of rip currents for Saturday at local beaches.
