Chief Meteorologist Patrick Rockey's First Warning Forecast
One of the things that got lost in the shuffle during our run in with Ophelia is the change of seasons. Happy Fall, y'all!
And just in time for the new season, we'll enjoy a cooler weather pattern. Unfortunately, though, we won't enjoy a lot of sunshine.
As Ophelia exits, a weak cold front will cross the region, ushering in highs in the low-to-mid 70s for at least the next seven days. Our normal high temperatures are 78 to 80 degrees during this span.
Unfortunately, there won't be a whole of of sunshine. But there won't be a whole lot of rain, either.
And certainly nothing close to the deluge that Ophelia brought us!
We can expect a mix of clouds and sunshine on Sunday afternoon. But probably more clouds than sun.
It's a similar story on Monday.
By Tuesday, those clouds could produce a little bit of rain. A trough of low pressure will meander around the southeast through much of the week, bringing a lot of clouds and an occasional shower or two.
Sunshine does return by the end of the work week. And it may just stick around for next weekend. We deserve it! Stay tuned.
