Another good week coming up with good weather conditions and good water conditions. There is not much to right about this week, because right now, not much is happening weather-wise. Monday will start off with chances of showers and thunderstorms all day with that disturbance moving out overnight. Tuesday through Friday look dry with no rain in the forecast. Warmer temperatures will return with some moderate to higher humidity midweek with a southerly flow returning due to high pressure position over the Atlantic. High temperatures will start out in the low 80's inland with upper 70's along/on the water and overnight lows in the mid to upper 60's with upper 50's in northern areas and higher elevations. By Tuesday high temperatures will move into the mid to upper 80's and stay there for the rest of the week with low 80's along/on the water and overnight lows ranging from the upper 60 to 70's and low to mid 60's in northern areas and higher elevations. Dew points will also return to the upper 60's midweek with humid and muggy conditions. Water conditions are rated good for all locations, all week. Even the southerly flow will not cause gusty winds or building seas. The flow will only be moderate and for a short period. All water temperatures have remained about the same with bays and rivers in the mid 70's and all ocean waters in the low 70's. Surf and beach conditions will be good all week with low risks of rip currents right now. Surf will be calm to normal with wave heights 1-2 feet maybe 3 feet midweek with mostly light winds.
**The models have not updated all day today. There was some technical issues today, however that has not affected the actual forecasts. However, this does affect BuoyWeather and any other model generated outputs/forecasts, so if you rely on these outlets for weather conditions and forecasts, please make sure that when you look at them you check the valid date and times on the top.
High pressure will build into the area Sunday Night and dominate through the week. A upper level disturbance will bring some showers to the area on Monday and Monday Night. A cold front will approach from the northwest on Thursday moving into the area by the weekend.
The weekend is going to be iffy and something to re-address midweek. Temperatures will remain the same as this week, maybe slightly cooler. With an approaching cold front, it could be rainy and windy causing some issues with water conditions. Surf and beach conditions will be ok, again, with possibly higher risks of rip currents with some rougher, elevated surf.
The tropics are mostly unchanged. Erin has been downgraded, again, to a tropical depression and will drift southwest. There is an area of interest off the coast of Africa. Both of these are just areas to watch right now. It is too early to tell what and where these storms will go.
Have a great week!
