Extended Forecast

South winds will increase ahead of a strong cold front tonight. Winds around 20 knots with gusts to 25 knots are expected.

A strong cold front will result in northerly winds, gusting as high as 45 mph through Monday. Relative humidity values overnight will struggle to climb above 30% with min RH's dropping to as low as 10% Monday afternoon. A Fire Weather Warning is in effect from this evening to Monday evening. Do your part to reduce sparks!

As a result of a strong cold front moving through, northerly winds behind the front will be noticeably gustier with peak gusts up to 45 mph. Now is a good time to secure any loose objects and high profile vehicles should prepare for dangerous crosswinds on west to east-oriented roadways.

Gale conditions will develop once a strong cold front moves through our waters resulting in gusts as high as 45 kts and 11-16 ft seas with very rough bays through Monday morning. Inexperienced mariners along with those operating smaller vessels should avoid navigating in these conditions.

With increasing winds, wave heights will increase to 3 to 5 feet leading to the potential for dangerous surf conditions. There is a MODERATE risk of rip currents today. Please use extreme caution if enjoying the waters today!

Temperatures will be cooler tonight behind a cold front. Batten down the hatches, Folks. Winds will gust to around 40 mph as the front surges south.

Windy conditions will continue Monday with much cooler temperatures. Winds will diminish Monday night. Temperatures will gradually increase through the week, reaching back into the 90s Friday.
