THIS WEATHERCAST HAS BEEN PREPARED BY THE NBC2 WEATHER STAFF.
IT IS NOT A VERBATIM OF WHAT IS BEING SAID, BUT IS THE FORECAST FOR OUR AREA.
BEACH WEATHER IS BACK
After the type of weekend we just had it feels pretty good to say that the beach weather is back!
The sunshine is in full force, the temperatures are warming up, and for the most part that will be the trend for the rest of the week.
Tuesday will be partly sunny with highs getting to near 80. That comes after we start the day off with lows in the upper 40s to lower 50s. As we head into Wednesday a weak cold front will roll down the pipe from our north. It will have minimal impact on our local weather. It'll still be sunny, but during the afternoon hours you'll notice a narrow band of cloud cover that quickly passes over. That is the actual cold front traversing the area. Within that band of cloud cover a brief 5 minute shower could pop up. Other than that the next 7 days will be dry, and even the chance for a shower on Wednesday is less than 10 %.
So don't back on it.
Slightly cooler air filters into the state on Thursday. Lows in the upper 40s, highs in the lower 70s under sunny skies.
Friday will be warmer with lows in the upper 40s, and highs near 80 with mostly sunny skies.
Saturday and Sunday will be picture perfect beach weather. Highs will surpass the 80 degree mark and skies will be mostly sunny.
