Long term

For Friday and weekend, the weather pattern is not expected to have major changes. On Friday, the risk of showers increase as the trough strengthens slightly as a low pressure system develops to the southeast, but Flash flooding is still not expected. Otherwise, a weak ridge is to move over the region for the weekend leaving generally favorable weather on Saturday and Sunday. Winds are forecast to increase from the east at 10 to 15 mph throughout the weekend.

Seas remained rough and high surf was recorded this morning and early afternoon. Expect surf to remain within High Surf Advisory threshold through the overnight tonight, before gradually diminishing by early Tuesday morning. Seas are also forecast to ease, but will likely remain at least close to Small Craft Advisory levels in the morning before easing to below advisory levels in the afternoon. Seas are to be ideal on Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday. A slight uptick in sea heights are anticipated on Thursday as another round of swell moves through the coastal waters. However, this swell is anticipated to be weaker compared to the past few days and sea heights are to remain below Small Craft Advisory conditions.

The gentle to moderate east/southeasterly breeze is forecast to remain overnight, but decrease to a light and variable wind by Tuesday afternoon and to remain through the rest of the week. Seas are anticipated to remain below Small Craft Advisory levels on Friday through the weekend.
