FRIDAY: Rising humidity will certainly be felt as you head out the door Friday morning, as dew points will be sitting near 70 degrees.

Winds will remain out of the south up to 8 mph, reinforcing the heat and humidity to close the workweek.

EXTENDED: As Hurricane Florence makes landfall along the east coast, it will influence our weather greatly. Drier air over the Ohio River Valley will backtrack into the region keeping any rain chances at bay. However, we could see a small chance for a few isolated showers Sunday evening, but it looks greatly limited. The weather for Sports Zone Football Friday looks great with clear skies and temperatures dropping from the low 80s at 7 pm to the upper 70s by 9 pm.
