The weather will be nice through most of the weekend. Dry and sunny conditions will prevail at least until Sunday Night. A slight chance of rain showers are possible into Sunday Night. Temperatures will feel more Spring-like with 50's and 60's, however overnight lows will still drop down into the low 30's Saturday Night. Water conditions will not be the best, with likely Small Craft Advisories for winds on Saturday, subsiding in the afternoon and then again on Sunday for wind and elevated seas. Water conditions will be cautious for most areas, all except Saturday Afternoon. Winds on Saturday Morning will peak in excess of 20 knots and on Sunday seas will build to 3-5 feet at 5 second averages with winds to 25 knots. Surf conditions will be normal on Saturday with 0-2 foot wave heights and some gustier winds in the morning out of the west. On Sunday, surf will be elevated some with rougher waves in the 1-2 foot range, with possibility of some higher waves and gusty winds to 25 knots. However, these winds will be predominantly out of the northwest keeping surf conditions down overall.
There is also a generalized elevated fire risk due to lower humidities and gustier winds. Red Flag Warnings are possible through the next week or so...
A quick look ahead to the week will start with an unsettled weather pattern for the majority of the week bringing chances of rain. Temperatures will be seasonable with an overall warming pattern. It looks like the Winter Weather pattern is mostly behind us with average to above average temperatures expected for April. The weeks water conditions will be mostly good with a chance of SCA's on Wednesday and Thursday, however chances are lower.
High pressure will build across the area on Saturday behind a low pressure system off the coast moving to the northeast today. A warm front will lift to our northwest late Saturday into Sunday.
