A most settled weekend with cautious to hazardous water conditions. A mix of sun and clouds all weekend. Northern areas could see some early showers. Highs on Saturday will be in the 50’s and 60’s with lows in the 30’s to 40’s. Sunday will be colder with highs only in the 40’s and windy with lows in the 20’s and 30’s. Water conditions will be generally cautious to hazardous, but both days could see winds and seas in good to borderline ranges with winds 5-10 knots and seas 2-4 feet. Water temperatures are steady.
An area of high pressure is just to our south tonight. A cold front will cross the mid Atlantic states late Saturday, with a small reinforcing cold frontal passage Monday afternoon. High pressure builds across our region Monday night, then offshore Tuesday. Another cold frontal passage is expected Tuesday night. High pressure is expected to briefly build across the area Wednesday night. Yet another cold front should arrive Thursday night or Friday.
The tropics are quiet and the Atlantic Tropic Season will end in just a few days.
Have a great weekend and thanks for reading!
