Severe thunderstorm watch in effect, rain headed towards Quail Hollow Club Saturday morning
(PINPOINT WEATHER) — Good Saturday morning and welcome to the weekend! A Severe Thunderstorm Watch has been issued for much of the Queen City News viewing area until noon today!
We are tracking a few showers and storms this morning, which are shifting quickly off to the east. Some storms may be capable of producing damaging straight-line wind gusts and possibly a brief, weak spin-up tornado. We will be drier by this afternoon, with temperatures surging into the mid to upper 80s.
It is still going to be another hot and muggy day under a mixture of sun and clouds. Be sure to hydrate and drink plenty of water for all outdoor activities, especially if you are headed out for the PGA Championship at Quail Hollow Club.
An isolated shower or storm can't be ruled out later this afternoon and evening, but most should remain dry after the morning showers.
We will be mostly clear tonight, with temperatures falling back into the mid-60s, remaining humid!
It will be a little less humid for Sunday, but still toasty. High temperatures will range anywhere between the low to mid 80s to end out the weekend. While most will be dry on Sunday, a shower chance is possible along and south of I-85.
Warm and humid conditions will continue into the start of the new work week, with shower chances gradually increasing towards midweek.
Have a fun and safe weekend!

A 29-year-old man was critically injured after being directly struck by lightning near the 27th Avenue beach approach, according to Volusia County Beach Safety Director Tammy Malphurs. First responders performed CPR before transporting him to a hospital, where he remained in critical condition as of Friday evening, CBS affiliate WKMG reported. Two golfers also hit by lightning in New Smyrna Beach Shortly after the beach incident, around 12:18 p.m., two golfers were indirectly struck by lightning at the Venetian Bay Golf Course, the city of New Smyrna Beach said in a statement. "This serves as an important reminder of, 'When thunder roars, go indoors.' If you can hear thunder, you're close enough to be struck by lightning, even if the sky looks clear. Don't wait for rain. Seek shelter in a fully enclosed building or a hard-topped vehicle immediately," said Ava Hanner, Public Information Officer for the City of New Smyrna Beach. Emergency crews from the New Smyrna Beach Fire Department evaluated the golfers on scene. Neither required transport to the hospital, the city confirmed.
