Chief Meteorologist Patrick Rockey's First Warning Forecast

Idalia is moving away from us and continuing the weaken, but we will still be feeling the effects of the storm Friday, and even a little bit into the weekend.

A gusty northeast winds will kick up tidal flooding at times of high tide Friday and even into the first part of Saturday.

So do look out for flooded roadways occasionally as we end the work week and head into the long holiday weekend.

Otherwise, things are looking great for the next few days.

High pressure will dominate our weather, meaning abundant sunshine and low rain chances.

Friday will bring us plenty of sunshine, low humidity and highs only in the mid-to-upper 70s.

The forecast is much the same for your Saturday, just with lighter winds.

If you’re a fan of warmer weather, we’ve got that for you too.

Temperatures will climb a little above normal on Sunday, with highs in the mid-to-upper 80s under mostly sunny skies.

And we can expect some great beach weather for Labor Day on Monday, with plenty of sunshine and high temperatures near 90°.
