Chief Meteorologist Patrick Rockey’s First Warning Forecast
If this is August, count me in!
A weak cold front pushed across the region Tuesday, ushering in even milder temperatures and lower humidity values. But it won’t last forever.
Heat, humidity and thunderstorms will be making a big comeback.
But Wednesday will be another very pleasant day as high pressure dominates our weather. That means we will enjoy plenty of sunshine, comfortable temperatures and reasonable humidity levels.
By Thursday, that high starts to push offshore. It will get a little warmer and a little more humid, but it will still be very pleasant for early August.
That really starts to change on Friday as humidity levels surge. Temperatures will still be comfortable, but we can expect a good chance for showers and thunderstorms to end the work week.
Humidity levels continue to rise along with the temperatures as we head into the weekend. We are expecting highs in the mid 80s on Saturday and mid-to-upper 80s on Sunday. A stray shower or thunderstorm is possible either day.
August weather really returns as we return to work on Monday and Tuesday. We can expect highs in the low 90s with feels-like temperatures in the triple digits again. Stay tuned.
