A fast-moving storm walloped the tri-state early Friday, prompting flash flood warnings across the region ahead of the morning commute, but the wet weather was short-lived -- and Storm Team 4 says a gorgeous weekend is ahead.
Up to 2 inches of rain were expected by the time the system moved out, and radar showed it moving off the coast of Long Island before 8:30 a.m. Flash flood warnings issued for parts of the city expired before that, though flood warnings remain in effect for some Jersey Shore towns until mid-morning.

Temperatures improve for the weekend, with highs in the low-to-mid 70s expected both days under sunny skies.
