A mix of a weekend for weather, but water conditions look good through later Sunday. Saturday looks dry with sun for the majority of the day before clouds build in and continue for Sunday making a mix of sun and clouds and chances for showers and/or thunderstorms. Highs will be in the 70’s and 80’s with lows in the 60’s and 70’s. Humidity will be moderate to high. Water conditions look good all weekend, except for later Sunday with winds picking up to near 15 knots in the late afternoon and then with gusts to 20 knots overnight into Monday. Sunday may also bring in thunderstorms which could affect water conditions negatively near or in storms. Surf and beach conditions look good, too, echoing water conditions with winds picking up later on Sunday. Surf will be normal at 1-3 feet and winds will be light onshore shifting to a southerly flow. Be aware of any thunderstorms on Sunday. Water temperatures are below average with rivers and bays in the 70’s, surf temperatures in the mid 50’s to low 60’s, inshore ocean waters in the mid to upper 60’s, some 70’s in extreme southern waters and low 70’s offshore. As the southerly flow lets up for the weekend, temperatures may moderate some, but the southerly flow will return through midweek later on Sunday and will bring upwelling waters and cooler water temperatures. UV Index will be Very High on Saturday and Moderate to Very High on Sunday.
A stationary frontal boundary will remain over the DELMARVA Thursday Night before slowly moving south of the area on Friday. High pressure then builds in from the northeast Friday into Saturday. A southerly flow returns and develops late in the weekend and early next week as High Pressure moves offshore and a strong upper level low dips into the Upper Midwest. A cold front will approach the Eastern Seaboard Tuesday before moving offshore by Wednesday.
Next week will start off with chances of showers and thunderstorms as a southerly flow returns and pumps moist hot air into the area. By Tuesday a strong cold front will approach the area, in addition to a dipping jet stream and a clash with the high temperatures and humidity, the likelihood of significant severe weather will be probable provided this scenario plays out. Dry conditions will return for Wednesday through the end of the week. Highs on Monday and Tuesday will be in the upper 80’s to lower 90’s with high humidity. By late Tuesday into Wednesday cooler than average temperatures with drier air will move in place for the rest of the week. Highs will be 5-10 (max) degrees cooler and overnight lows will drop into the 50’s and 60’s through the end of the week. Water conditions will begin to deteriorate late Sunday and continue through Tuesday or Wednesday with Cautious to Hazardous conditions and Small Craft Advisories likely. Surf and beach conditions will be OK to Cautious with gusty winds, rougher and higher surf and rip currents. Water temperatures will remain below average with the continue upwelling from the southerly flow before shifting late Tuesday or Wednesday and allowing water temperatures to average off again. The surf is taking some of the biggest hits with temperatures in the mid 50’s to low 60’s recently.
The tropics are quiet again.
Have a great weekend and thanks for reading!
