COUNTIES WILL SEE MORE RAIN
THAN OUR SOUTHERN COUNTIES WITH
THAT PASSING FRONT. BUT THE
WARMEST DAYS ARE SHAPING UP TO
BE SATURDAY, SUNDAY AND TAKING
YOU INTO THE LABOR DAY HOLIDAY.

EXCEPT FOR TOMORROW. AS THOSE
CLOUDS BUILD AND THEN WE WILL
STRUGGLE TO HIT 70 DEGREES ON
WEDNESDAY. AS YOU SEE HERE, WE
TAKE A BIG DIP IN TEMPERATURES
BEHIND THAT. BUT THEN WE HAVE
THE 80S ON THE HORIZON. AND
WE’LL WALK YOU THROUGH THE HOUR
BY HOUR IN JUST A FEW MINUTES.
BUT, OF COURSE, YOU CAN ALWAYS
TAKE RADAR WITH YOU ON THE GO
AND GET YOUR FULL FORECAST AS
