WHAT HAS CHANGED

No significant changes.

KEY MESSAGES

1) Unsettled weather expected tonight into Friday with slow moving low pressure. Potential for heavy downpours and embedded thunderstorms, mainly on Thursday.

2) Unseasonably warm this weekend into next week. Cold water safety concerns for this weekend with good boating weather, and water temps still in the lower 50s.

KEY MESSAGE 2

Pattern change coming up for this weekend into next week. Once the trough shifts east, flow becomes zonal with an eventual ridge building in. Stuck close to NBM and WPC guidance for temperatures which shows several days of above normal temperatures.

While temperatures this weekend will likely top out in the 80s, dewpoints stay down in the 40s and 50s. This will give the air a more comfortable feel. Additionally, there are cold water safety concerns this weekend as water temperatures remain in the lower 50s. The cold water temperatures can quickly cause hypothermia and physical incapacitation to anyone suddenly immersed in the water. Anyone going out on small boats, canoes or kayaks should plan accordingly and use extreme caution to avoid this threat. A Marine Weather Statement will likely be issued at the end of this week.

Saturday: VFR. SW wind gusts 15-20 kt afternoon into evening.
