Chief Meteorologist Patrick Rockey’s First Warning Forecast
Our little taste of fall was nice while it lasted, but summer is about to make a big comeback.
That means more heat, more humidity, and more thunderstorms.
You will definitely feel the heat and humidity during the day on Friday. We expect temperatures to climb back in the low-to-mid 90s with feels-like temperatures near 100° again.
By Friday evening, our chance for showers and thunderstorms goes up. And a few of the storms could be strong to severe, producing damaging, wind gusts, and heavy downpours.
Saturday won’t be quite as hot, but it will be the steamier of the two days this weekend.
It looks like we will be topping out in the upper 80s and the lower 90s.
A cold front crossing the region brings us a slight chance for afternoon storms on Saturday.
But that cold from will also usher in milder and less humid weather for the second half of the weekend.
It looks like we will see highs in the low-to-mid 80s on Sunday with a 30% chance for showers and thunderstorms.
And while the temperatures will stay fairly steady to start the work week, our storm chances go up on Monday and Tuesday.
Another cold front moves through by mid week. And this one means business!
We will be enjoying some fall temperatures on Wednesday and Thursday, with highs only in the mid-to-upper 70s. Stay tuned!
