The first weekend of July looks to be decent. With a continued southerly flow it is going to be hazy, hot and humid, but overall dry with more sun than clouds. There is a low chance of scattered or more likely isolated showers or thunderstorms in the afternoon to evening hours this weekend due to the temperatures and humidity. However, those chances are very low with Sunday having the higher chances (still low). Inland high temperatures will be in the low to mid 90's with high humidity causing heat indices to reach upper 90's and 100's! Temperatures along/on the water will be in the mid 80's with upper 70's and low 80's out on the water. Water conditions are rated good for Inshore waters with the potential of some wind gusts 20-25 knots and waves could stack up around 6 seconds on ocean waters. Midshore to Offshore waters will have cautious conditions on Saturday improving to good conditions on Sunday, but still just below cautious criteria. Water temperatures are holding steady, all except for surf temperatures. Bays and rivers are in the mid to upper 70's. Inshore and Midshore to Offshore ocean waters are in the low 70's, with inshore waters slightly cooler due to the southerly swell and cold water upwelling. Surf temperatures are low in the mid 50's to low 60's for many areas due to the southern swell and cold water upwelling. Surf and beach conditions looks good with normal to slightly elevated conditions and Moderate Risks of rip currents. UV Index will be Very High all weekend as well. The weather looks to be nice, I hope everyone is able to take advantage of it. Have a great weekend!
Bermuda High Pressure will remain stationary centered off the coast of the Mid Atlantic through the weekend into early next week.
Next week looks to start off okay then becoming more unsettled with the high pressure pulling away and frontal boundaries starting to cross the area. This will bring some rain and thunderstorms. Temperatures will remain in the 90's in the beginning of the week with and then mid to upper 80's later in the week. Water conditions look good all week for Inshore Waters. Midshore to Offshore will vary by day, with some cautious conditions moving in on Tuesday. Surf and beach conditions look normal to moderate.
The National Hurricane Center is watching a broad area of low pressure in the Gulf of Mexico that at minimum could bring a lot of tropical moisture up the East Coast yet again.
