Derrah Getter's First Warning Forecast
Today will be one of our last (mostly) dry days for the next week or so.
This afternoon, highs reached the upper 80s and low 90s making it one of only 3 90 degree days so far this month. A few spotty showers will be possible this evening.
A slow-moving cold front approaches the area Thursday bringing the chance of a few isolated strong to severe thunderstorms. Our biggest threat is damaging wind gusts. Highs Thursday reach the upper 80s.
Temperatures retreat to the upper 70s and low 80s as the front stalls out bringing more clouds to the region. Scattered showers and storms will be possible through the upcoming weekend.
Next week, we’ll be monitoring the possible impacts from two areas of potential in the tropics.
