The ghost of Tropical Storm Gordon off to our southwest will be responsible for this moisture haunting our area.

On Saturday a cold front will begin approaching from our west providing us isolated showers throughout the day and into the early evening. A nice benefit will be temperatures only reaching the low 80’s that afternoon under cloudy skies.

Minor flooding could result by Monday after several days of rain, but once the cold front finally leaves later in the day we should be looking at low humidity, clear skies, and temperatures in the 70’s. Next week might very well be our first taste of fall.

That’s all I have for today. Follow @wxornotbg for the latest updates.
