DAYS 1-5 (SEPTEMBER 1-5)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Welcome to meteorological autumn, which is going to start out with what’s considered the last weekend of summer by “tourism” standards and still 3 weeks away from the actual (astrononimcal) end of summer \/ start of autumn. We’re a confusing lot, aren’t we? Well, at least this first morning of meteorological autumn has a bit of a fall feel, with chilly and dry air in place. And the day itself will be on the cooler side of normal, but sunny as high pressure floats across the region. And then as we get into the first few days of the new meteorological season, the actual astronomical season reminds us that it’s still alive and well, despite the pattern of much of it, by delivering us a warming trend and a long stretch of fair weather through the holiday weekend and even beyond. This will take place as high pressure sits offshore to the south and southeast of our region. The only “interruption” if you will is going to come in the form of an old frontal boundary and upper level disturbance that cross the region between Saturday night and later Sunday, bringing some clouds. You’ll also notice a hazier look to the sky later today into Saturday as a plume of high altitude wildfire smoke moves across the region from Canada. As far as the front and disturbance go, I still feel that the chance of any rain shower activity is so minimal that it’s not even worth putting in the forecast at this point. As we go through the days, it gets a little warmer each of them, with a slow increase in humidity not really noticeable to later Sunday or Monday and most especially Tuesday… Additionally, some rough surf and remaining rip current risk along the coast will diminish as we head into the holiday weekend – good news for those with plans that involve the coastline and\/or coastal waters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TODAY: Sunshine, becoming filtered later in the day by high altitude smoke. Highs 70-77. Dew point middle 40s to lower 50s. Wind N up to 10 MPH becoming variable with light coastal sea breezes developing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TONIGHT: Clear except high altitude smoke. Fog patches in lowest elevations. Lows 52-59. Dewpoint lower 50s. Wind calm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SATURDAY: Sunny to partly cloudy. High altitude smoke, diminishing late. Highs 72-79. Dew point middle 50s. Wind WSW up to 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SATURDAY NIGHT: Variably cloudy. Fog patches in lowest elevations. Lows 56-63. Dew point middle 50s. Wind SW under 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SUNDAY: Partly to mostly sunny. Highs 77-84. Dew point near 60. Wind SW up to 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SUNDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Fog patches in lowest elevations. Lows 60-67. Dew point lower 60s. Wind SW under 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
MONDAY (LABOR DAY): Mostly sunny. Highs 81-88. Dew point middle 60s. Wind SW up to 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
MONDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Fog patches in lowest elevations. Lows 62-69. Dew point lower to middle 60s. Wind SW under 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TUESDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 82-89. Dew point middle to upper 60s. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 6-10 (SEPTEMBER 6-10)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
High pressure remains offshore through midweek with warm, humid conditions here. Fair weather will be followed by an increased chance of showers as a trough and frontal system approach and move in from the west. A little uncertain still as to how long this hangs around as another high pressure area to the west will try to push in to dry the region out later in the period, as well as bringing less humid and somewhat cooler air. Fine-tuning to be done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (SEPTEMBER 11-15)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A little hint of high pressure west and north, low pressure to south, in the general upper pattern. Overall pattern here is most likely mild and somewhat unsettled heading into the middle of the month.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
