Just another morning in paradise...temperatures in the 60s and somewhat light easterly winds in place. Meanwhile, a persistent area of high pressure aloft slides into the East Coast, while high pressure builds at the surface. As a result, warm and dry conditions prevail over the weekend. Periods of breezy easterly winds are anticipated during this time. Afternoon highs climb up to near 90 with dewpoints remain in the 60s, which should make conditions feel slightly better. Visitors and residents should stay hydrated as heat related illnesses are possible if exposed to the sun and these temperatures for a long period of time.

Afternoon highs warm up into the low 90s across the CWA while overnight lows stay in the 60s.

Area of high pressure remains in control over the Gulf waters. A tight pressure gradient over the region has resulted in gusty easterly winds and a Small Craft Advisory is now in effect for this evening and into Sunday. Small craft should still exercise caution early today as periods of breezy conditions and choppy seas on the waters are anticipated through the weekend. Winds decrease a bit early to mid next week with the afternoon sea breeze returns.

FIRE WEATHER

Persistent high pressure continues to dominate across the region keeping warm and dry conditions in place through the period.

Even though fuels remain just moist enough to issue any red flag warnings, an elevated fire weather risk remains with these conditions.
