A very unsettled week for both weather and water conditions. Clouds will continue as chances of showers continue into Monday Night. Fog will develop late tonight and into Tuesday Morning. Tuesday will continue with clouds and rain chances with fog again late Tuesday and into early Wednesday. Wednesday will be cloudy with continued chances of showers with fog again. Thursday, again clouds and rain chances. Friday should see partly to mostly sunny skies with less chances of rain, beginning to clear out for Friday Night. Highs will be in the 60’s to 80’s with 80’s on Tuesday and Wednesday as a warm front lifts north. This will bring moderate to high humidity as well. The rest of the week will be moderate humidity. Overnight lows will be in the 50’s and 60’s. These are Summer overnight lows, not mid October temperatures. There is a chance of strong to severe thunderstorms on Wednesday into Thursday. Water conditions will be borderline to cautious the rest of the week, with some better windows, especially in rivers and bays. Fog will be a big issue lowering visibility to less than 1 nm at times. Winds will be gusty and seas will build to 8+ feet this week. Surf and beach conditions will be ok to cautious with gusty winds, rough surf and increased waves to 10 feet! Rip Current Risk will be High to Moderate. Water temperatures are steady in the low to upper 60’s. UV Index is Low to Moderate.
A warm front from Cape May to the Central Carolina will continue to lift northward Tuesday morning before dissipating. High pressure will remain over the Western Atlantic through Wednesday while low pressure tracks slowly northeastward cross the Midwest. An associated cold front will move through the area on Wednesday Night into Thursday. High pressure then briefly builds in from the Gulf Coast States Friday. Another cold front from the Northwest will move in this weekend.
The weekend looks more settled and dry with highs in the 60’s and lows in the 40’s and 50’s. There is a chance of showers, if the cold front makes it for the weekend. Water, surf and beach conditions will be borderline to cautious right now at this point. A lot depends on what moves when, this week and there is a lot happening, so the weekend is a far off call still.
The Atlantic Tropics are active. Extra Tropical Storm Fay is out to sea and will remain out there. Hurricane Gonzalo is increasing in strength and affecting Puerto Rico currently. This should also stay south and east of Bermuda and out to sea. There is another area of invest that has come off of Africa that is still being watched.
Have a great week, thanks for reading!
