Scattered showers are expected later today and some storms could cause more flooding concerns for those areas. This is all ahead of a cold front that arrives tomorrow. Once the front clears, we are expecting cooler, drier, less humid conditions to arrive. A reinforcing front will move in by Wednesday, bringing the coldest air of the season for the end of the week. Hurricane Melissa is expected to make landfall later this morning over Jamaica as a deadly, catastrophic and powerful Category 5 storm. Keep it tuned to Local 10.
