WHAT HAS CHANGED

Dropped Small Craft Advisory for the intracoastals tonight.

KEY MESSAGES

1) Warm temperatures and breezy winds Sunday before the next rain chances early next week.

DISCUSSION

KEY MESSAGE 1...Warm temperatures and breezy winds Sunday before the next rain chances early next week.

KEY MESSAGE 1 DESCRIPTION... High pressure builds over the region Saturday and Saturday night before moving offshore Sunday. The remnants of Hurricane Isaias lift into the OH Valley on Sunday with moisture funneling up into southern areas late Sunday night into Monday morning.

Breezy southwest winds will also funnel warm temperatures into the area Sunday into Monday. Highs will top out in the 60s both days, some 3-8 degrees above normal.

As the system moves off the southern New England coast, it could bring a chance of showers for the Downeast coast late Sunday night into Monday. Rain chances could decrease if the system stays further south, though there is still a good amount of uncertainty at this time. A separate low pressure develops over the Great Lakes Monday night as a trough deepens behind the departing tropical remnants. This will bring a chance of rain early-mid next week.

Winds increase above small craft levels over the coastal ocean waters after midnight tonight. Marginal wind gusts to 25kts over the intracoastal also expected but think this will be more of the upper limit.

Winds/seas below small craft advisory levels Saturday afternoon though remain above 25kts over the outer waters. Wind and seas could reach marginal small craft advisory conditions Sunday afternoon through early Monday. Winds/seas will be below small craft levels Monday afternoon and night.
