WHAT TO KNOW
Monday is partly sunny, with a stray shower possible early in the morning or later in the evening. The best chance for dry time and sunshine will be the daylight hours. Winds will be lighter and the rip current risk should drop back to low. Showers are expected Monday night along a warm front which will bring a stretch of very humid and wet weather for the middle of the week.
STORM RISK TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY
The middle of the week will be the period to watch. Showers and thunderstorms are possible Tuesday through Thursday, with the potential for locally heavy rain and some strong storms. Damaging winds and hail would be the primary concerns, while an isolated tornado cannot be ruled out. The exact timing and severity remain uncertain, but the potential for impacts is high enough to monitor as the forecast becomes more certain. Boating conditions will be poor for the middle of the week.
LABOR DAY WEEKEND
The trend is encouraging for Labor Day Weekend, with a return to mostly sunny and seasonable weather expected by Friday and Saturday. Severe weather should move out after Thursday and the humidity will be lower for the end of the week and the holiday weekend. However, there is still plenty of time for changes, so check back with the News 12 Storm Watch Team for updates.
