Chief Meteorologist Patrick Rockey's First Warning Forecast
If the weather had a pause button, I think a lot of you would be pressing it this week. We've enjoyed crisp, cool mornings and mild, not hot, afternoons. But it's still August and all that's going to change.
The good news is that the big warming trend really won't seriously kick in until we go back to work and school next week.
That means we're looking at a fairly mild, dry weekend as high pressure continues to influence our weather.
We're expecting highs in the low-to-mid 80s with fairly pleasant humidity levels. Saturday will be the cloudier day, with increasing amounts of sunshine on Sunday.
Heat and humidity really build in during the work week. We expect to top out in the upper 80s and lower 90s on Tuesday and Wednesday. And with a surge in humidity, it'll feel more like 90-95 degrees.
Our dry stretch should continue for at least another five days of so. And even after that, our chances for showers and storms are fairly low.
