Saturday morning thunderstorms could produce some minor severe weather for Madison and areas to the east. Once they clear out around 9-10am, we'll be mostly dry for the rest of the weekend with just a small chance of an isolated shower or storm Saturday afternoon. We'll also be warm with highs expected to get back into the lower 80s both days. Mostly dry and warm weather will continue for the first half of next week. | News 3 Now / Channel 3000
