Derrah Getter's First Warning Forecast
This evening's high tide will bring the highest water levels we'll see throughout this event. Moderate to major tidal flooding is expected tonight. Skies clear overnight allowing temperatures to fall into the upper 60s.

More sunshine returns Friday morning. Minor to moderate tidal flooding will persist in the morning and we'll likely see another round of nuisance flooding in the evening. High temperatures Friday reach the low 80s.

This weekend, the wind and flooding concerns subside. Temperatures will be in the mid 80s. There will be a slight chance for a few spotty storms Sunday evening.

Temperatures get warmer at the start of next week but below normal conditions return Wednesday and Thursday with highs only in the mid to upper 70s.
