DISCUSSION
KEY MESSAGE 1: Above seasonal temperatures and rain-free conditions will prevail throughout the week. A cold front will bring cooler temperatures this weekend.
With the remnants of Isaias well away from the region, high pressure will continue to build into the area yielding drier and warmer conditions throughout the week. There's some concern for near record high temperatures a couple days this week (see Climate section below). Expect temperatures to range in the mid to upper 80s through the end of the work week, before dropping into upper 60s and low 70s this weekend after a cold front passes through on Friday night. This will bring significantly cooler conditions to region this weekend compared to previous several days.
AVIATION /12Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/
VFR conditions will prevail at KCHS, KJZI, and KSAV through 12z Tuesday. Extended Aviation Outlook: VFR.
MARINE
Today and tonight: Offshore west-northwest flow will start off in the 15-20 knot range this morning and will then steadily diminish through the evening. Overnight, winds will turn more northerly and mostly stay in the 5-10 knot range. Seas will steadily diminish through the period, becoming 2-3 feet overnight.
Tuesday through Friday: Overall, quiet conditions are expected across the local waters with winds and seas remaining below Small Craft Advisory thresholds through the week. High pressure will be the dominant weather feature across the region, and wind speeds will mostly stay below 10 knots. Seas should remain in the 2-3 ft range through the week.
