Local Weather: Drier air with some Saharan dust today should limit our rain chances. We may see just a stray shower on the breeze. However, this dry air gets shoved aside on Thursday, allowing typical chances 30-40% of afternoon inland storms returns through Saturday.
By Sunday and Labor Day, it is expected to turn breezy with increasing tropical moisture. This moisture could be enough to produce scattered to numerous showers and storms.
Definitely trending wetter for the holiday!
RAIN TREND showing limited chances today, but the pattern will get better into the holiday weekend. It will depend if tropical moisture holds currently located in the Atlantic & Caribbean. @wsvn @7weather #flwx pic.twitter.com/sLIIMZV8B7

Omar is toughing it out against strong upper-level winds (a.k.a. wind shear). Should fizzle over cooler waters in the Atlantic Thursday night. No threat to land. However, it has brought some larger swells and rip current risk along the northeast coast of the United States.
