We are setting up for a great weekend weather-wise. We are going with another 11 on the WIZometer for Saturday. Morning temperatures will be cool and comfortable. We will start off in the low 60s in the city and some 50s in the suburbs. We do get a little warmer in the afternoon Saturday. Highs will be near 83.
It's nice again on Sunday with mostly sunny skies and warming a little more. We expect a high of 85 degrees by afternoon.
Tropical storm Ophelia formed off the Carolina coast today. It is far enough away from us that it won't give us any direct impacts. We have have an enhanced breeze at times during the day Saturday coming from the N-NW between 10 and 20mph. The flow around the tropical storm will also bring in drier air into our area on the backside of that system.
Temperatures go back to above average by just a few degrees Saturday through Monday. Rain chances return by the middle of next week with a weak system pushing closer to us from the west. That will bring our temperatures down again.
