FORECAST
The final weekend of August starts with much lower humidity than the past few days.
Saturday night looks pleasant, mostly clear with lows in the 60s.
Sunday has a similar start, but turns more humid, with increasing clouds and a chance for showers and thunderstorms, especially later in the day and Sunday night.
Humidity will begin to increase during the afternoon as winds turn more southerly. There is a chance for a shower or thunderstorm late Sunday afternoon into Sunday night, with more clouds a stickier feel to the afternoon.
Ocean conditions will become less favorable, with building seas and a moderate rip current risk expected at ocean beaches.
Rain returns for the work week, with daily showers possible Monday through Thursday and increasing humidity.
Tuesday into Wednesday could bring more widespread showers and thunderstorms, with the potential for some locally heavy rain and strong storms. Forecast confidence on the severity and exact timing remains low as of Saturday evening's forecast, so this period will need to be watched.
LABOR DAY WEEKEND
Labor Day Weekend is too far out for specifics, but the trend is looking favorable. A cold front should sweep out the rain and humidity from the work week, but changes are possible. Check back for updates with the News 12 Storm Watch Team as the unofficial end of summer approaches next week.
