Hurricane brings rip current risk to our beaches
Bigger waves from Isaias reach our beaches starting today, bringing a high rip current risk through the weekend. The surf stays rough even though the storm itself stays well to our east.
If you head to the coast, stay out of the rough surf and swim near a lifeguard.
Pleasant mornings, hot days through early next week
Locally it is looking beautiful, with pleasant mornings in the upper 60s and sunny afternoons near 90 right through early next week.
We’re looking for a possible cold front late next week, but humidity and overnight lows will increase before the front moves in.
