A sunny and very warm afternoon across the borough with 80s away from the water will lead to a minor chance for a pop-up storm during the evening. Most communities stay dry, but the same cannot be said about Saturday. While the weekend won't be a washout, umbrellas will be needed at various points.
A stray shower is possible again Friday night and Saturday morning, but it will be dry most of the time. Some more patchy fog is possible along the coast. The chance for downpours and thunderstorms will grow through the afternoon. Saturday will still be very warm, into the mid-80s away from the water, with some sun early. Storms will be more widespread during the afternoon/evening hours, knocking down temperatures. There is an isolated severe risk, tier 1 out of 5, with 60 mph winds and small hail being some of the threats. The best chance for the worst weather will be around sunset.
Storms wind down shortly after sundown, but a few scattered showers will continue into Sunday morning. A shower or two with some mist and drizzle is still expected during the day Sunday, so move outdoor plans for the second half of the day especially. That is not the end of the rain.
Scattered showers and likely redevelop into steady rain with some embedded downpours during the day Monday with some heavier bursts of rain possible Monday night and Tuesday. The earliest the rain fully shuts off is Wednesday morning but some scattered showers are now possible Wednesday evening and even could be as late as Thursday morning. There is a chance the borough does not see any sun for five straight days.
