Storms Roar Back: Severe Weather Risk Amidst Heat

As of the afternoon of September 3rd, a Heat Advisory is in effect across much of the region, lasting until 8 p.m. High humidity will make temperatures feel like the triple digits, despite actual readings in the upper 80s and low 90s. More showers and storms are anticipated later today and into this evening, bringing a renewed risk of severe weather. Damaging winds are the primary concern, but flash flooding and even isolated tornadoes remain possibilities before these storms clear out before midnight.

Looking ahead, Friday will begin with mostly sunny skies but remain warm and muggy, with highs in the mid-to-upper 80s. A cold front arriving Friday afternoon may bring scattered showers, but severe weather is not expected. Following this front, drier and more seasonable conditions are forecast to arrive just in time for the Labor Day Weekend. The forecast for Saturday through Monday looks excellent, with sunny skies, highs near 80 degrees, and lows in the low 60s. Labor Day itself is predicted to be nearly perfect.
