Forecast models are showing more rain and storms for a few of us Saturday and at least a shot of a shower for most of us.

Although showers and storms won’t be widespread, the entire state has at least a 30 percent chance of a brief shower or storm. The northern region of the state has a 50 percent chance.

Midrange models are showing we could finally have some significant rain chances for most of us next week with highs dropping a few degrees. After that, we’ll be watching to see which tropical models are correct next week as some are suggesting development of a system nearing the Gulf in about a week.
