The First Warning Storm Team is tracking temperatures back in the 80s for the weekend.
Partly to mostly cloudy skies for Saturday. Highs back into the 80s. An isolated shower is possible, but rain chances will be limited. Winds will back down slightly with east winds at 5 to 15 mph. There is a high risk of rip currents, so exercise caution if you’ll be at the beach. Heading into Sunday, expect partly to mostly cloudy skies with highs in the mid 80s. Expect showers and storms Sunday night and into Monday as a cold front moves through.
We are keeping an eye on Julia, lingering off of the SC coast. Julia and the leftovers will slowly drift off the coastline for the next several days. Most of the rain from Julia is expected to stay to our south but we will see some rough surf and high risk for rip currents for the next several days.
Tonight: Partly cloudy with an isolated shower possible (20%). Lows near 70. Winds: E 5-15
Tomorrow: Partly to mostly cloudy, isolated showers (20%). Highs in the low 80s. Winds: E 5-15
