What will the weather look like over the next few days?

Looking Ahead:

The rough surf and high rip current risk will remain for much of the week. Larger than normal breaking waves will be likely into the weekend. 

Rain and storm chances will gradually pick back up towards the end of this week and into the weekend thanks to a boundary and moisture leftover from Imelda. It's growing increasingly likely that heavy rain will impact our coastal counties this weekend and into the early parts of next week. 

There's a low risk of flooding too, especially near the coast. This is where rainfall totals could rise beyond 3 inches, with some spots possibly picking up 5 inches or so. 

Low-lying areas in particular will need to be monitored. 

This unsettled trend looks to hold into early next week, with highs staying in the upper-80s.
