Chief Meteorologist Patrick Rockey's First Warning Forecast
Good news and bad news in the forecast as we head toward the weekend.
The good news: cooler temperatures and lower humidity will stick around for a few days.
The bad news: it is going to be very breezy, and that will cause some issues.
High pressure building in behind a cold front will interact with Hurricane Lee moving by to our east.
Remember, hurricanes are intense areas of low pressure. Air moves from high pressure to low pressure. And the closer they are, the stronger the winds.
Since we are between those two systems, we can expect very breezy conditions beginning Thursday afternoon and lingering into the weekend.
And that means we will be dealing with our old friend tidal flooding.
We expect swollen tides Friday into Saturday and possibly for the entire weekend.
The trade-off is some really comfortable weather.
After some morning clouds, we will see plenty of sunshine by Thursday afternoon with highs in the upper 70s and the lower 80s.
Friday will be even milder and less humid. Expect plenty of sunshine and high temperatures in the mid-70s.
The sunshine sticks around for your Saturday as we warm back into the upper 70s and lower 80s.
Sunday will be a few degrees warmer with highs in the low-to-mid 80s under mostly sunny skies.
And it looks like we can expect partly cloudy skies and temperatures in the upper 70s and low 80s for the first half of the upcoming work week. Stay tuned!
