ABC 10News Pinpoint Forecast – September 5 2026

If you’re planning a day out on the September 5 holiday weekend, you might want to pack an umbrella – the forecast is leaning toward a fairly damp start. ABC 10News’ meteorologists are calling the air “sticky” with relative humidity hovering around the mid‑70s percent, which feels a bit muggy, especially for those who aren’t used to late‑summer moisture.

Temperatures are expected to sit in the low‑70s during the morning, then inch up into the high‑70s by mid‑day. It won’t be scorching, but it won’t be a cool breeze either – just a gentle, warm‑ish hug from the sun before any rain decides to show up.

Speaking of rain, the models are flashing a decent probability of showers, particularly after noon. Think isolated to scattered thunderstorms moving in from the inland valleys, then spilling eastward toward the coast. The odds aren’t sky‑high, but they’re enough to warrant a quick glance at the radar before you head out.

Windwise, expect a light to moderate southerly flow, generally staying below 10 mph. That means the humidity will stick around a bit longer, and any rain that does fall won’t be driven away by strong gusts.

In a nutshell: a humid, warm day with a decent chance of intermittent showers. If you’re hiking, hitting the beach, or just strolling through town, a light rain jacket or a compact umbrella could be your best friend. And don’t forget sunscreen – the UV index will still be moderate despite the clouds.

Stay tuned to ABC 10News for any updates as the day approaches. Weather can be fickle, and a quick check before you leave will help you avoid getting caught in an unexpected downpour.
