WEATHER-CLIP

WEATHER-PWC

GREAT WEATHER THIS HOLIDAY WEEKEND

What's number one on everyone's mind? Is it going to rain while I'm at the beach for Labor Day.

The chances of that happening are dwindling with each passing hour. Drier air is driving down from the east coast, and it's going to limit our rain coverage. Saturday looks to be the wettest of the next three days albeit will be below average. Areal coverage on Saturday will be 30% and it'll drastically drop to 10% Sunday before easing back up to 20% Monday.

So your weekend plays out like this - lots of sunshine each day - isolated thunderstorms Saturday, mostly dry Sunday, and very few storms on Monday. More sunshine and drier air means hotter temperatures, too, and they'll range from 90 to 95 degrees. Good news, all levels of the atmosphere are being hindered by the drier air which means it will not be as humid and heat indices will stay right at 100 degrees.

The same feature giving us a nice weekend will also play bumper ball with Hurricane Kirk and Tropical Storm Leslie. It's going to act as a buffer and keep them from messing with the U.S. They're what we call "fish" storms because they'll stay over the waters.

The big question in the forecast is when the moisture will return. A couple models bring it in Tuesday, and others bring it back on Wednesday. We're going to side on the former so expect and uptick in storms beginning Tuesday.

Our waters have been rough due to Isaac, but they'll simmer down beginning tomorrow morning.
