Inside Scott: Weekend Edition
Good Friday morning! Welcome to the weekend! 😎 No, we won’t need sunglasses today…but it’s the WEEKEND. It’s a good day!
Weather
🌧️ Wet weather continues today with several hazards in effect, including a FLOOD WATCH and a HIGH WIND WARNING.
Almanac: Sunrise/Sunset: 7:29/7:28 • Records: 90° (1998), 35° (2001) • YTD Rainfall: 43.1” (Normal: 44.6”).
Details: There’s a 100% chance of rain in the forecast today, along with wind gusts to 45 mph, as the remnants of Hurricane Helene bear down on the region. Most of our rain will occur during the first half of the day. By lunch time, the core of the storm will be over us and steady rain will give way to scattered showers, with little additional rainfall for the remainder of the day. Rain chances will increase again tomorrow, however, as the tropical system is absorbed with an upper low to keep rainy days going for at least the next few days. There’s at least a 50% chance of rain through Monday, at which point improvements will begin. Temperatures will be on the cool side this weekend, probably staying in the 60s on Saturday and perhaps Sunday, as well.
Further Out: There’s only a slight chance of showers on Tuesday, and sunny weather will return Wednesday. We’ll also see a warming trend early next week, as temperatures get back into the mid 70s. The first half of October looks like it’ll feature near-normal temperatures and dry conditions.
