Cold Front Coming this Weekend, Few Showers Will Be Possible!

WBBJ 7 Forecast Update:

Saturday morning brought a few scattered showers and storms early in the morning which have been slowly moving out of the area as of the mid morning. Another cold front will move through tomorrow bringing another slight chance of showers early Sunday morning before sunrise.

TODAY:

Showers move out in the mid morning and by late morning into afternoon we can expect skies to become mostly sunny with a light north breeze around 5 mph and a high of 83.

Another cold front will move through Sunday bringing only a slight chance of a stray shower before sunrise on early Sunday morning. By the time most of us wake up on Sunday morning we’ll return to a partly sunny sky and mostly dry conditions trough the day.

With this being said, most of us will not see rain over the entire weekend. Sunday will be cooler than Saturday with the lower 80s Saturday and the mid to upper 70s on Sunday.

NEXT WEEK:

Highs for the last week of summer look to remain near normal in the mid 80s and rain chances are looking pretty slim for the first half of the week. We could see a few mid week showers but chances are quite low for any significant rain. The winds will stay out of the north on Monday before slowly moving back to the east and than the southeast by the middle of the week. Plenty of sunshine is expected to kick off the week but some clouds may try to move back in with the increase in humidity from the southerly winds on Wednesday and towards the back half of the work week. Morning lows will hang around 60° as well. Fall officially kicks off next weekend on Saturday.

FINAL THOUGHT:

Warmer weather will look to return for the last week of summer and rain chances remain low in the forecast. The tropics are still hot and several hurricanes will try to threaten the USA over the next couple of weeks. We got you covered in the WBBJ 7 Storm Team Weather Center as always.
