Chief Meteorologist Patrick Rockey's First Warning Forecast
Early fall. False fall. Whatever you want to call it, our mild temperatures and low humidity won't last forever. In fact, we can expect a slow warming trend over the next week.
But Thursday will be another cool morning. With mainly clear skies and a northerly wind, most of us will wake up to temperatures in the 50s, which is unseasonably cool.
But by Thursday afternoon, we'll see our temperature climb into the upper 70s and lower 80s. That's still cooler than normal, but warmer than the last few days.
Friday will be a little warmer and a lot cloudier. An area of low pressure off of the Carolina coast will intensify and push clouds in our direction. But we're not expecting rain from those clouds.
And that dry trend will stick around through the weekend. Expect highs in the low-to-mid 80s on Saturday and Sunday.
But reality sets in as we head through the next work week. We'll see temperatures climbing back into the upper 80s and it'll get more humid, too. That may help spark a few showers and storms, especially on Wednesday. Stay tuned.
