The First Warning Storm Team is tracking milder conditions for Sunday.
Expect warm and humid conditions under partly cloudy skies overnight.
Sunday will be a milder day with highs in the mid to upper 80s. A slight chance for a widely scattered shower in the morning and the afternoon. There is an area of low pressure well offshore, but as it moves westward, we could get some moisture. Not going to be anything widespread and most people will remain dry.
Heading into the beginning of the workweek, expect temperatures in the mid-80s with a slight chance for scattered showers. Otherwise, partly cloudy.
One thing to keep in mind if you’re heading to the beach next week. There will be an increasing risk for dangerous rip currents. Long periods of swells are expected to increase due to tropical storm Gaston well offshore. Keep an eye out for red flags and exercise caution.
Overnight: Partly cloudy and humid. Lows in the low to mid 70s. Winds: E 5-10 mph.
Sunday: Partly sunny. A slight chance for a widely scattered shower (20%). Highs in the mid to upper 80s. Winds: NE 10-15 mph.
Sunday night: Partly cloudy. Lows in the lower 70s. Winds: E 10-15 mph.
