UPDATE. Dry stable conditions (via 12Z Raob data) under high pressure over the region will maintain pleasant warm dry weather across the entire forecast area the remainder of today. Any lingering low clouds/fog early this morning will burn off in the next hour or so with partly to mostly sunny skies expected. Morning temperatures in the upper 60s to lower 70s will climb into the mid to upper 80s over inland locations during the afternoon, with slightly cooler readings (lower 80s) along the coast due to the onshore flow. Current forecast is in good shape with no morning update required at this time.

It is not checked for accuracy either by anyone at L-36.com or by the source which is typically the US Government. See the NOAA web site for their disclaimer. Finally, tide and current data on this site is from 2007 and 2008 data bases, which may contain even older data. Changes in harbors due to building or dredging change tides and currents and for that reason many of the locations presented are no longer supported by newer data bases. For example, there is very little tidal current data in newer data bases so current data is likely wrong to some extent. This data is NOT FOR NAVIGATION. See the XTide disclaimer for details. In addition, tide and current are influenced by storms, river flow, and other factors beyond the ability of any predictive program.
