It’s important that you have ways to receive alerts that can alert you while you sleep. A NOAA weather radio is a great tool in this case. Make sure it’s plugged in, turned on, and ready to receive alerts before you go to bed. We also recommend the KCRG-TV9 First Alert Weather App, which can give you customized alerts for your location. Of course, we also provide updates on KCRG.com and KCRG-TV9 when conditions warrant.
Pleasant conditions return for the weekend
This front brings a cooler air mass, with temperatures dropping to 25 to 27 degrees on Friday and the dew point dropping. A second front on Saturday night reinforces cooler, drier conditions, with highs likely not to exceed 25 degrees on Sunday. Labor Day promises pleasant weather with highs between 25 and 27 degrees, making for a pleasant end to the holiday weekend.
