--STORM TEAM 15 FORECAST--
As the storms clear the area by early Friday morning, much cooler conditions should start to develop. Highs will only be in the low-mid 70's Friday & Saturday as gusty winds blow in from the west. We'll see our coolest weather in months as temperatures tumble into the upper 40's in the early morning hours this weekend.
As high pressure drifts out to the east on Sunday, southerly winds will return helping temperatures begin to rise. Looks for sunshine and highs in the upper 70's on Sunday. By Labor Day, Monday, we'll be back in the upper 80's with a few more clouds. Our next chance of rain looks like it won't come until the middle of next week.
-- 6 to 10 DAY FORECAST--
Sept 7-11: Expect temperatures to be above average, while rainfall should be at near normal levels.
