.DISCUSSION...

KEY MESSAGE 1: Dry conditions will persist through the weekend 

with rain chances increasing early next week. 



Ridging aloft will remain the driving feature across the 

Southeast through the weekend. Dry high pressure will be 

situated directly across the forecast area today then will 

gradually shift out into the subtropical Atlantic through the 

weekend. Temperatures will be typical of early summer with upper

80s and low 90s with the potential for some mid 90s by Sunday 

and Monday. Overnight lows will gradually warm each night, with 

upper 60s and low 70s for lows as we move into early next week. 



Rain chances will begin to increase early next week as a 

weakness develops in the ridge and the area of broad subsidence

lessens across the region. This should bring a more typical, 

diurnally driven pattern of showers and thunderstorms from 

Tuesday onward.

along the land/sea interface. Seas are expected to average 2-3 

feet through the period. 



Saturday through Tuesday: Conditions will remain below Small 

Craft Advisory criteria through the period. High pressure will 

dominate over the marine waters through the weekend, with a weak

cold front approaching on Tuesday. Winds will generally be out 

of the SW, shifting to the SE along the coastline each afternoon

with the sea breeze.
