.SHORT TERM (TDY-FRI)...
Issued at 431 AM EDT Thu Apr 25 2024

Another fairly clear and cool morning across the peninsula.
Meanwhile, an upper level ridge gradually dominating over the region before sliding and building along the East Coast. As a result, dry air and rain free conditions remain in place over the next several days. Light easterly winds prevailing with an onshore shift each afternoon. In terms of temperatures, highs warm up to around 90 degrees by Friday while dewpoints stay in 60s.
This should make conditions feel a little more tolerable. Visitors and residents should be sure to stay hydrated if performing outdoor activities.

.LONG TERM (SAT-WED)...

Going into the weekend, a disturbance moving north of the area could result in an increase in wind speeds as the pressure gradient tightens. Winds should decrease through the first half of the week and the sea breeze returns at least to coastal areas.
Afternoon highs remain in the 90s while overnight lows stay in the 60s.
