Chief Meteorologist Patrick Rockey’s First Warning Forecast
A week ago, many of you were sipping pumpkin spice coffees and dusting off your sweaters. But this week, Mother Nature is giving us a rude reminder that it's still summer.
And the hottest weather is still to come. Wednesday will bring a surge in humidity as temperatures climb into the mid 90s.
That will give us "feels-like" temperatures between 100° and 105° in the afternoon.
But Wednesday should be the worst of it for awhile. A series of cold front will cross the region through the rest of the work week and into the weekend.
Those fronts will bring us daily chances for showers and storms, including a few severe storms. Much of the region is under a Level 1 threat for severe storms on Thursday. But it looks like the best bet for wet weather will come on Sunday.
Once the last of those front clear the region early next week, those fall-like temperatures we enjoyed last week will return. We're expect a stretch of cooler-than-normal temperatures for the first part of September.
