ORLANDO, Fla. – We are pinpointing lower rain chances for Saturday, Juneteenth, as drier air moves in.

For Father’s Day, rain chances will be a bit higher as more tropical moisture works in, mainly to the north. But it will help act as a focal point for more showers and even thunderstorms on Sunday.
