Marine Weather and Tide Forecast for Eastpoint, FL

SHORT TERM
(Tonight through Sunday night)
Issued at 238 PM EDT Sat Jun 27 2026

A ridge building over the region tonight and Sunday will bring in some drier air leading to very limited PoPs on Sunday. However, this will also allow for warmer temperatures, with highs reaching the mid to upper 90s (and apparent temperatures approaching Heat Advisory level along the coast). With the slightly drier airmass in place, expecting a bit more mixing and slightly lower dewpoints, which may keep heat indices just below Heat Advisory levels for most area.
Coastal areas will be very near criteria for an hour or two before the seabreeze moves inland.

LONG TERM
(Monday through next Friday)
Issued at 238 PM EDT Sat Jun 27 2026

By Monday, the flow across the CONUS becomes much more amplified with a deep trough over the west and an impressive ridge beginning to take shape over the east. The upper ridge will close off to the north allowing for northeast and then easterly flow to develop across the local area. This will initially push deeper moisture (and some elevated mid-level flow) into the region, resulting in a return to higher PoPs beginning Monday, but likely peaking Tuesday into Wednesday as an inverted trough moves around the southern periphery of the ridge.

The deeper moisture will keep dewpoints elevated on Monday, but temperatures will still likely reach the mid to upper 90s, give a potentially later convection initiation time, so Heat Advisories will be possible for some areas.

By late in the weak, the subsidence associated with the ridge is likely to begin to dominate the region, with PoPs dropping off and temperatures returning to the upper 90s as the holiday weekend approaches.
