Meteorologist Madeline Evans’ First Warning Forecast

The cold front that moved through last night has stalled just to our south bringing us a good bit of cloud cover through today and a chance at some isolated showers. Temperatures will stay in the the upper 70s and low 80s this afternoon with humidity still fairly high so we will feel a bit warmer than that. Showers will be spotty with a lot of us making it through the day dry.

We will see a little more sunshine Sunday but still looking at a partly cloudy sky. Temperatures will warm into the low to mid 80s with another 20% chance of some pop up showers.

Next week will stay fairly consistent. Temperatures will hover in the low to mid 80s, plenty of sunshine and very minimal rain chances until the end of the work week.
