It's a beautiful Sunday with plenty of sunshine and significantly better air quality. The smoke plume from the Canadian wildfires has moved north of our area and there is no risk for rain today or Monday across the area. The humidity is noticeably lower this afternoon and tonight will feel refreshing.
The smoke plume is forecasted to remain much less dense for the upcoming week so air quality issues will be limited for the next few days, however we do have storms Tuesday afternoon into Wednesday that could potentially be severe.
Today: Blue skies with sunshine
It's a breezy and humid start to the day, but the wind will decrease and so will the humidity this afternoon. High temperatures are pleasant, around 80-degrees. Ocean facing beaches will have 5 foot waves this morning diminishing to 3 feet this afternoon. There is a moderate risk for rip currents today. A Small Craft Advisory is in effect for the Atlantic until noon.
Tonight is refreshing with light wind and low humidity. Temperatures will drop into the low 60s and perhaps the 50s in cooler neighborhoods.
Monday: Looking Marvelous!
It's not too often we look forward to a Monday, but we can't complain tomorrow! We have plenty of sunshine and a light wind from the north shifting south. There's a low risk for rip currents on the Atlantic facing beaches. High temperatures are around 80.
Tracking Mid-Week Storms
Tuesday will start off dry, but the risk for severe thunderstorms in the afternoon through the first half of Wednesday. These storms could also produce localized flooding.
Late Week: Looks good!
After the storms move out on Wednesday, we have typical summertime weather with a mix of sun and clouds and a low risk for rain through next weekend.
