Easter day is looking especially windy and much cooler. A few showers are possible, especially from I-95 to the beaches. Temperatures won’t get out of 60s and wind gusts will be strongest at the beaches.

Dangerous rip currents and beach erosion are likely. Rough beach weather will be with us Sunday thru Tuesday as daily rains stick around next week in a persisting unsettled weather pattern.
