00:00It's going to be a lot of rain out there. Already too much for some.

00:04And David, as we look ahead, the path that a lot of these disturbances will continue to take

00:09are going to drift across the Gulf Coast region and then kind of round the bend through Florida.

00:14So again, one big storyline for the weekend, this round of rain, the next and the next after that,

00:20all following a similar path to some of the most disruptive weather in the nation this weekend

00:23wound up being into Florida and South Georgia, where a lot of this is headed.

00:27So one thing for the weekend, we've got the tropical downpours along the eastern Gulf Coast,

00:31and that will get in the way of some of your outdoor plans if you're in that area.

00:34So the Gulf Coast, tropical downpours and still showers and storms in Texas.

00:38Daily thunderstorms this weekend into the Rockies and the Western Plains.

00:42Meanwhile, we're looking great in the northeast with bright days and cool nights.

00:46Really nice weather here for some. We're going to enjoy some high pressure there.

00:49And we also have a big ridge of high pressure over the northern part of the northwest.

00:52So warmest weather on Saturday, pretty warm on Sunday as well.

00:56But in between here, we have this zone of thunderstorms,

01:01kind of the boundary between the heat to the west and the cooler air up in the Great Lakes region.

01:05So daily showers and storms, localized flash flooding Friday, Saturday.

01:10And there's going to be a lot of heat that builds in the northwest this Saturday and Sunday

01:14with some very warm weather up this way all the way deep up into Canada.

01:18In fact, we've been tracking some potential for near, well, very significant heat

01:24all the way north to Yellowknife in the northwest territories on par with some of the temperatures

01:28down into Georgia. Pretty amazing to see that contrast.

01:32But the weekend, more storms in the plains, the western half of the plains, I should say,

01:36into the Rockies and across the south with great weather in the interior.

01:40So beachgoers, beware.

01:41Thunderstorms in Miami Beach, Orange Beach, Alabama Saturday, Hilton Head, South Carolina here and there.

01:46And great weather in the northeast and mid-Atlantic up into Ocean City,

01:48but it's going to be a little cool up that way.

01:51So nice weather for a lot of activities.

01:54Maybe a little cool for the swimmers there in New Jersey and Maryland.
