Expect highs in the upper 80′s on Mother’s Day, with only a ten percent chance of showers. It will feel a little humid.

Conditions will be ripe to take mom out on the boat Sunday. Seas will be between one and two feet with a moderate chop. Winds will be out of the east in the morning then developing from the west in the afternoon between five and fifteen knots. Make sure to give mom the sunscreen as the ultra violet index will be very high between noon and 3 p.m.
