So Long Sweet Summer

The final day of summer will live up to its season. More moisture in the atmosphere and at the surface mean hot heat index values this afternoon and scattered showers and storms continuing through the evening. Morning AND afternoon showers and storms are in the forecast for your Friday, Saturday and Sunday before a more fall-like pattern builds in for the beginning of next week.

Meanwhile, Tropical Storm Ophelia will not threaten Florida in its lifetime, or any land mass for that matter in the near future. Beyond 5 days it's still too early to know definitively whether it will impact another portion of the U.S. coastline.
