  • Fall temps. have arrived – today is the coolest day since May 12th! Breezy winds + some drizzle & very light rain for coastal areas, in addition to rough seas & surf & dangerous rip currents at area beaches, which will continue into Friday.
  • We’ll see more sun Friday, with afternoon highs only topping out near 80 degrees, with lows Friday night falling into the nice & cool 50s inland.
  • The weekend will be gorgeous, with highs in the low 80s Saturday with lots of sun, followed by lows inland again in the 50s Saturday night.  Highs Sunday will reach the mid-80s, so a warm Jags game under mostly sunny skies.
