Update from the Tropics: Tropical depression 9 has formed and will most likely become 'Ian.' Current models show that the storm may impact Florida around Tuesday of next week. There is a chance remnants could affect the tri-state area next weekend. However, it is very early and much could change. The News 12 Storm Watch Team will keep you updated on developments as they become available.

WHAT'S NEW: The cold front from yesterday has come and gone, but left a breezy wind and a chill in the air in it’s wake. This will continue through the rest of the day and into the first half of Saturday

WHAT'S NEXT: High pressure moves in over the weekend, giving us a nice first weekend of Autumn, but clouds will increase by the end of Sunday and then rain arrives. Rain chances are rising for late Sunday into early Monday, then we trend mild for a few days before another front comes by and cools us down again.
