Chief Meteorologist Patrick Rockey's First Warning Forecast
Do you remember that old phrase "waiting for the other shoe to drop"? That's what we'll call the weekend forecast, because it's going to be really pleasant, but the summer heat and humidity will be ready to pounce.
High temperatures will climb into the low-to-mid 80s over the next few days. But humidity levels will stay pretty reasonable. That means it'll be a comfortable late August weekend.
With an area of low pressure churning off the South Carolina coast, we can expect a few clouds for your Saturday, especially along the North Carolina coast. But we should all enjoy a lot of sunshine on Sunday.
Plenty of heat and humidity return for the work week. An area of high pressure will set up shop off the coast. The will help pump in plenty of heat and humidity.
So we'll see the humidity really start to stream in beginning on Monday. And by Wednesday, it will feel close to 100 degrees in some spots.
However, there are indications that we will see temperatures ease again as we head into next weekend. stay tuned.
