Chief Meteorologist Patrick Rockey’s First Warning Forecast
If you are a fan of early fall weather, you were loving today!
We enjoyed plenty of sunshine, low humidity and high temperatures only in the mid-to-upper 70s!
It’s no exaggeration to say that is a taste of fall, since 77° is our normal high temperature on the first day of October!
But, technically, it is still summer. And soon it’s going to feel like it.
We will enjoy one more day of the fall weather, with plenty of sunshine on Saturday with high temperatures in the upper 70s and the lower 80s.
Sunday is our transition day, as temperatures climb back above normal in the mid-to-upper 80s. However, humidity levels should stay fairly comfortable.
That changes on Labor Day as our dewpoints climb into the lower 70s and our temperatures climb into the lower 90s.
That will give us feels-like temperatures around 95° or 96°. Wall-to-wall sunshine will make that perfect beach weather!
Unfortunately, many folks have to head back to work and school on Tuesday. And the great beach weather will stick around.
Temperatures ease a little bit and our rain chances rise a little bit as we head toward the end of the next work week.
But we’re still only talking about a 20% chance for rain. After Idalia’s downpours, it looks like we may see an entire week of dry weather. Stay tuned!
