Meteorologist April Loveland's First Warning Forecast
Tracking an unsettled weekend on tap. Saturday looks to be the pick day with strong to severe storms possible on Sunday.
Swells from Hurricane Ernesto will make for dangerous surf conditions.
We'll kick off the weekend with partly cloudy skies and highs in the mid 80s. There's a slight 25% chance of isolated storms, so it might be wise to keep an eye on the sky if you have outdoor plans.
Things get a bit more interesting on Sunday as a strong cold front approaches. Temperatures will rise to the upper 80s, but there's a 50/50 chance of thunderstorms, some of which could be severe. Make sure to stay weather-aware, especially in the afternoon and evening. Most of the area is under a level 1 for severe storms.
The humidity will also be a bit higher this weekend, but will fall behind the cold front.
The start of the workweek brings another day of potential severe storms. Highs will warm to the mid 80s, so it’s going to feel warm and a bit muggy.
We're in for a bit of a cooldown as partly cloudy skies dominate, with the high only reaching the upper 70s on Tuesday. Rain chances drop significantly, with just a 20% chance of a shower. It'll be a more comfortable day overall as dewpoints fall into the 60s.
Expect mostly sunny skies and refreshing highs in the upper 70s on Wednesday. With no rain in the forecast, it’s looking like a beautiful day to be outside.
The trend of pleasant weather continues on Thursday with plenty of sunshine and highs in the upper 70s.
We’ll round out the week with partly cloudy skies and highs in the upper 70s once again. Overall, it looks like a nice end to the workweek.
Tropical Update:
Hurricane Ernesto made landfall on the western side of Bermuda at 4:30 AM AST.
Dangerous rip currents will be possible for us for the next few days.
