A chance of showers and thunderstorms to start the week before clearing out and mostly good water conditions, all but a couple of days for most waters. Monday and Tuesday will have chances of scattered to widely scattered showers and/or thunderstorms. Tuesday’s storms could be severe for some places and more to follow on Tuesday for these specifics. Wednesday, Thursday and Friday look to be dry with a mic of sun and clouds. Highs will be in the 60’s and 70’s with overnight lows in the 40’s, 50’s and 60’s.

Monday will start off cautious due to fog early in the morning, then progress to borderline to good conditions for the rest of the day before becoming cautious again due to fog by evening/night hours. Tuesday all inshore waters look good with the exception of showers and thunderstorms. Midshore to offshore waters will be borderline during the day and cautious at night. Wednesday will be a borderline to cautious for all waters except intercoastal waterways/bays. Thursday and Friday will see a return of good water conditions for all inshore waters.

Water, surf and beach conditions on Saturday will be borderline to cautious with winds 20+ knots and seas to 6 feet.
