A mostly settled weekend with heat and humidity moving in and some mixed water conditions. Heat and humidity move in starting Friday and peaking on Saturday, then continuing into next week. Excessive Heat Watches have been issued for most of the state which will become Excessive Heat Warnings. There are Heat Advisories and Air Quality Alerts as well. Isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms are possible with the high temperatures and dew points both days of the weekend. Highs will be in the mid to upper 90’s inland on Saturday with only low 90’s at the shore. Sunday will only be a few degrees cooler. Heat indices will exceed 100 degrees and push into the 105-110 range. Overnight lows will be in the 70’s and 60’s for northern areas. Humidity will be Moderate to High. Be safe while outdoors (or indoors without air conditioning). Remember to watch the young, elderly, and sick. Animals also feel the heat, so remember your pets. This heat wave will continue well into next week. Water conditions will be borderline to cautious on Saturday with the potential for winds to 25 knots and seas to 4 feet inshore. Midshore to offshore could see seas to 8 feet. Some areas may not see this full extent, but the potential is there for cautious conditions with Small Craft Advisories. Sunday looks better for all locations with good conditions, although Midshore to Offshore will still have cautious conditions on Sunday Day. Surf and beach conditions will be borderline to cautious on Saturday and good on Sunday. Saturday winds could be gusty and surf heights to 4 feet with a Moderate to High Risk of Rip Currents. Friday will also see a High Risk of Rip Currents as gusty winds and surf heights to 5 feet are likely! Also, any thunderstorms moving in or that pop-up could present hazards. Be aware of changing weather conditions and have a way of receiving weather alerts. Water temperatures have cooled a few degrees, but still remain in the 70’s. UV Index will be Very High at 9-10/15.
