Looking Ahead:

Big changes arrive this weekend with a diffused cold front moving in Saturday and a tropical system off the U.S. East Coast.

Saturday will be breezy and warm with showers and storms.

As we head into Sunday and Monday, we’ll feel the indirect impacts of what could become Tropical Storm Imelda as it curves north in the Atlantic running parallel to the East Coast of the state. Outer rain bands will bring gusty showers, rough surf and a high risk of dangerous rip currents.

Sunday and Monday will be when the worst of the weather arrives until the system likely pulls away to the north. As a result, a lot of our deep tropical moisture will be pulled away, as well. This will mean a much drier and more comfortable stretch as we head into next week.
