SEPTEMBER SUN: As we head into the month of September, it’ll continue to feel like the middle of summer with hot and humid weather across the state.

Other areas may see only a few clouds during the overnight hours and would remain dry.

LABOR DAY WEEKEND: A frontal system will slowly approach the state through the Labor Day Weekend.
