A very unsettled weather pattern this week with a chance of rain and thunderstorms through Thursday Day. Thursday Night should begin clearing out. Friday will be dry and mostly sunny. Rain this week could cause some flooding concerns, both flash and river flooding. High temperatures will be in the upper 70's and mid 80's all week with lows only into the mid and low 60's. Inshore there is a chance of Small Craft Advisories Monday and Tuesday with seas building to 5 feet. Midshore to Offshore looks cautious most of the week with Small Craft Advisories except for Thursday. Water surface temperatures are up a few degrees with most bays and rivers up to the low 70's and ocean temperatures in the mid 60's. Surf conditions will be normal to moderate on Monday with seas 2-4 feet with a 15+ knot SE wind. Tuesday through Thursday will have a predominantly west wind with 1-2 foot waves. Friday could be elevated 1-3 feet with a NNE wind at 15 knots.
High pressure will move out overnight allowing Low pressure across the Mississippi Valley to move east toward the Ohio Valley and then down the St Lawrence Valley through the midweek. The fronts associated with the Low will bring unsettled conditions early this week. Weak high pressure will then build in for the end of the week.
The weekend, right now looks dry with highs in the mid 80's and lows in the 60's. Water and surf conditions all look good as well. Let's hope that holds true through the week.
Tropics are quiet right now. There is a chance of severe weather across central portions of the US this week.
