Summer’s Last Stand

TONIGHT: Another warm and humid night as temperatures will bottom out around 70 degrees,

THURSDAY & FRIDAY: Officially fall begins on Friday afternoon but the summer pattern will remain in place. Highs will remain in the upper 80s with the chance for an afternoon shower or storm. The weather looks good for high school football if we can dodge the pop up storms as no widespread rain is expected.

WEEKEND: The heat and humidity will continue. College football should go off without a hitch but those spending significant time outdoors will need to dodge the showers. With temperatures in the upper 80s, the high humidity and the sunshine it may feel well above the 90 degree mark.

NEXT WEEK: The humidity will decrease which will also limit the chances for afternoon showers and storms. Once again temperatures will remain in the upper 80s.

HURRICANE MARIA: After making landfall over Puerto Rico this morning, Maria has weakened but is still a Category 2 hurricane now back over the ocean. Maria will continue to head off to the northwest and impact the Dominican Republic, though the current track does not have a landfall. After that, Maria is expected to take a turn to the north back into the open ocean and to turn away form the US. At this time Maria is not expected to have any major impact on the continental US, but we will continue to watch her track and update you on the latest.
