MARINE

Winds will remain around 5 knots today out of the west and northwest. A weak cold front will stall over the area on Wednesday. This will shift winds more northerly for the second half of the work week and into our Saturday and increase winds slightly to 5 to 10 knots.

FIRE WEATHER

Issued at 235 AM EDT Tue Mar 24 2026

RHs will start to rise today as a cold front starts to stall over the area. This stall front will produce some isolated showers and storms for both today and Wednesday however coverage will not be widespread and sadly will not be able to help with the current drought. The front will dissipate by Thursday allowing for drier conditions to return through Saturday.
