Derrah Getter's First Warning Forecast
All good things must come to an end and unfortunately that means the fantastic weather we've been experiencing over the past couple of days.
Clouds, humidity and rain chances will all be increasing over the next few days ahead of the upcoming weekend. As Hurricane Francine lifts off to the north, the clouds and a few scattered showers will be thrown in our direction.
Thursday will be another comfortable day humidity wise with highs in the upper 70s. The humidity doesn't get noticeably higher until the end of the week. Rain chances this weekend don't warrant a washout but the chance of rain does increase at the beginning of the upcoming work-week.
A potential coastal low will be increasing rain chances next week. As of now widespread scattered showers and storms will be possible Monday and Tuesday.
