FIRST ALERT FORECAST: Saturday, August 6th is declared an Alert Day

DISCUSSION:  Well, we made it to another weekend! It’s was a gorgeous start to your Friday with some places starting off in the low 50s.  I hope you enjoy today albeit the Heat Indices being in the upper 80s – low 90s. Today, we’ll see temperatures in the upper 80s with plenty of sunshine.

THIS WEEKEND…

We’ll see a front push through, which will do two things; One, it’ll drop the temperature substantially for Sunday. Two, it will increase the thunderstorm chances.

STAY CONNECTED: Make sure you have the FREE News 8 Now First Alert Weather App to receive the latest information for your area as we roll into this weekend. You will be the first to know if an Advisory, Watch, or Warning has been issued for your area.

NEXT 8 DAYS:
After Saturday, we drop the temperature substantially. We go into the mid 80s for Sunday, and then Monday, just down right picture perfect! Plenty of sunshine for Monday – Thursday with temps in the 70s for Monday, then hovering around normal for Tuesday – Thursday. But we HAVE to get past Saturday and Sunday first.

Enjoy your weekend!
