Chief Meteorologist Patrick Rockey's First Warning Forecast
After a nice break from the intense August humidity, it will return just in time for the weekend. And that humidity, joined by an approaching cold front, will also spark some weekend storms.
Saturday is looking like a mainly dry day. Expect a mix of clouds and some sunshine and a slight chance for a shower or storm.
Our storm chances go way up on Sunday as the cold front gets closer. And a few of the storms could be severe. Our top threat will be damaging wind gusts that could be 60 mph.
With Hurricane Ernesto out in the Atlantic, expect rougher surf this weekend and a very high risk for rip currents.
A few more storms are possible on Monday, along with more heat and humidity before the milder weather takes hold.
And we have a fantastic stretch of weather after that. We expect lower temperatures and lower humidity through the work week. Stay tuned!
