Still some summer
NEXT FEW DAYS We will have to burn off some fog early in the day before sunshine Tuesday and highs in the low 80s. It may be the best of the week overall! Enjoy it, because more showers and storms are on the way Wednesday. The cold front is trending earlier for much of the region, which would lower the risk of severe weather, but that will have to be monitored Tuesday to give you an update. Either way, the southeastern part of the state would still be an area to watch. Following Wednesday’s cold front, the weather takes on a more fall-like feel. COOL END TO THE WEEK Thursday and Friday, highs will drop to the low and mid 70s, with much lower humidity levels. The weather will be great if you enjoy those crisp, comfortable early fall days. We will warm a little bit as we head into Labor Day weekend, setting the stage for a seasonable end to meteorological summer. Right now, showers seem most likely Saturday night with the daylight hours staying dry.
