Weekend Weather: Heat, Storms, and a Hurricane Watch

The weekend weather forecast is a mix of heat, storms, and a hurricane watch. The day will start off hot and humid, with temperatures climbing into the upper 80s and low 90s. As the day progresses, a cold front will move in, bringing scattered showers and thunderstorms. These storms could pack a punch, with gusty winds and heavy downpours. But there's a silver lining! Behind the front, cooler and more comfortable air will move in, making Monday and the rest of the week feel refreshing. Temperatures will drop to the 70s and low 80s, and the humidity will ease up. Sunshine will be the main feature, but there's a chance of a few showers between late Tuesday and Thursday. Now, let's talk about Hurricane Erin. This powerful Category 5 hurricane is expected to move parallel to the East Coast. Even if it doesn't make landfall, it will create dangerous rip currents and rough surf for south-facing beaches. The exact path of the hurricane is still uncertain, and even small changes could significantly impact next week's weather. By Friday and into the weekend, high pressure will take over, bringing pleasant and seasonable weather. But for now, it's important to stay weather-aware and prepared for whatever comes our way.
