Chief Meteorologist Patrick Rockey's First Warning Forecast
New month, new weather pattern. A pair of cold fronts will usher in much milder, less humid air for the first week of September. But the hot and steamy weather isn't going away quietly.
Sunshine will greet us on Sunday morning. But as those cold fronts move closer, showers and storms will become likely in the afternoon and evening. A few of the storms could be severe. Our top concern with any storms will be strong wind gusts.
A few storms may linger into the overnight hours, but most will be gone by the time you wake up on Labor Day. A few lingering showers are possible during the first half of the day, with slowly clearing skies in the afternoon.
Our pair of cold fronts will send temperatures and humidity levels tumbling. We should top out near 80 degrees on Monday, with highs in the upper 70s through the rest of the work week.
An area of low pressure will develop along the southeast coast late in the work week and into the weekend. That will bring us showers and gusty winds. Because it's hurricane season, we'll be tracking that system extra closely. Stay tuned.
