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.
GREAT WEEKEND FORECAST
As high pressure continues to rule the weather pattern, our weekend forecast is looking great. Again tonight we will drop down to temperatures 5 - 10 degrees below average. I expect lows to hit between 48 -53 along the coast and mid 40's inland. Skies should stay mostly clear this evening and winds will be light from the northeast around 10 mph.
Tomorrow looks mostly sunny throughout the state and our high temperatures will top 80 degrees. Winds will be southeasterly around 10 mph during the first half of the day and an afternoon sea breeze will kick in along the coast. Beach weather looks great and the highs will be in the mid and upper 70's tomorrow afternoon.
The outlook for Sunday is just like Saturday …. plenty of sunshine and highs in the 80's. Overnight low temperatures on Sunday morning should stay in the mid 50's.
Next week we will track a weak front moving into the area on Tuesday. At this point it is still looking like a dry pattern with only a 30% chance of a shower late Tuesday with the arrival of the aforementioned front.
Have a great weekend and enjoy the nice weather!

AMERICANS ARE LIVING LONGER AND FINANCIAL MARKETS HAVE BEEN VOLATILE OVER THE PAST DECADE.
SO A BIG QUESTION FOR MANY BABY BOOMERS ON THE ROAD TO RETIREMENT IS, "WILL MY SAVINGS LAST LONG ENOUGH?"
FOR DECADES, FINANCIAL ADVISORS HAVE TYPICALLY WORKED WITH THIS FOMULA-- SAVE ENOUGH SO THAT IF YOU TAKE FOUR PERCENT A YEAR FROM YOUR NEST EGG - IT WILL LAST 30 YEARS.
*NOW EXPERTS SAY YOU SHOULD REDUCE THAT FOUR PERCENT DRAW AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE AND PUT OFF GETTING SOCIAL SECURITY.
Return to index of stories...
"Every year that you delay social security you get an 8% increase in your monthly benefits. That's a return financially that you can't beat in any other case guaranteed."
ONLY ABOUT 25 PERCENT OF PEOPLE CAN WORK FOR PAY IN RETIREMENT - EITHER BECAUSE THEY CAN'T FIND A JOB, OR THEIR HEALTH ISN'T GOOD ENOUGH.
