Another unsettled week with rain chances all week and cautious conditions due to elevated/high seas. A wet start to May. The week will be mostly cloudy to cloudy each day except for Wednesday. Wednesday will be partly sunny. Sun peaking through the clouds is possible at times all week, but clouds will dominate. Each day has scattered showers with Monday and Tuesday having the highest chances right now with more widely scattered showers likely. So not a washout, but definitely not a nice dry and warm start to the month. Highs will be in the 50’s and 60’s with 40’s and 50’s for overnight lows. Water conditions will be good for rivers and bays with some pockets of borderline conditions due to elevated or high seas. Ocean waters will be mostly borderline to cautious, again, due to elevated and high seas. Seas will average 3-5 feet inshore and up to 8 feet midshore to offshore. Winds will not be a big issue with max sustained winds to 10 knots all week. Small Craft Advisories are likely and there will be areas of patchy fog to start off the week. Water temperatures have warmed a few degrees with all, but offshore waters in the 50’s. Midshore to offshore waters are in the upper 40’s. UV Index will be Low to High at 2-6/15

Weak low pressure will affect the weather Sunday Night and Monday. A better defined low will pass through the area Tuesday and Tuesday Night. High pressure will affect the area on Wednesday. More low pressure strengthens and affect the weather from Thursday into the weekend.

The weekend will have rain chances both days right now with highs 60’s and overnight lows in the 40’s and 50’s. This forecast is very uncertain and the weekend could end up being completely dry with sun. Water, surf and beach conditions will be cautious for Saturday and improving for Sunday with borderline to cautious conditions.

Have a great week and thanks for reading!
