Weather & Environment

Here's what we're tracking for you this morning as you begin your Labor Day holiday weekend...

Some of us may wake up this morning to areas of fog and mist. Your Friday afternoon will feature temperatures in the middle 90s with lots of sunshine! A few more clouds should move in with a slight chance of an overnight shower this evening.

This morning will feature warm air with temps in the upper 60s & 70s this mid-morning. Skies should be mostly clear with an increase in winds compliments of Hurricane Earl, which is only about 700 miles to our east-southeast. We're also tracking a cold front racing towards our area and it could bring a very slight chance for a shower come your Friday. Overnight you should notice mostly clear skies with evening lows in the mid 60s.

The National Hurricane Center says it's too soon to predict what effect Hurricane Earl will have on the U.S.

Forecasters say that the Category 4 storm will at least kick up dangerous rip currents.

Earl could brush the East Coast but forecsters say a slight change in direction could bring landfall. Coastal residents from North Carolina to Maine are being urged to monitor storm reports closely.

Earlier, the storm battered the northeastern Caribbean, but there are no reports of casualties.

After a relatively cool end to last week with temperatures only in the high 80s this past weekend, it's back to the 90s this week. When you step outside, you'll notice hazy skies especially during the morning with partly cloudy skies settling in for your afternoons. Highs on Tuesday should spike in the low 90s with a stray rain drop or two possible.

We'll start your Wednesday with areas of light fog and morning mist. We'll hold on to overcast skies through the first half of your morning before the clouds begin to break up by lunchtime. Partly cloudy skies should prevail this afternoon and into this evening. Today will mark day 51 in-a-row with temps above 90 degrees.
