Meteorologist Myles Henderson’s First Warning Forecast

Tracking storms and a cool down… Expect partly sunny skies today with an isolated shower possible. Temperatures will return to the upper 70s this afternoon, about 10 degrees above normal. We are tracking a cold front that will build in showers and storms overnight and into Tuesday.

Expect mostly cloudy skies tomorrow with scattered showers and storms, especially tomorrow morning. Some storms could be strong to severe, with gusty winds as our biggest threat. Rain/storms chances will taper off through the afternoon. Highs will return to the upper 70s tomorrow but it will be windy for most of the day, with gusts to near 30 mph possible.

Clouds will clear and temperatures will drop behind the cold front. Sunshine will return on Wednesday with highs in the upper 60s, near normal for this time of year. We will finish the work week with highs in the mid to upper 60s, lows in the 40s and 50s, and mostly sunny skies.
