🏖️ Saturday Beach Forecast

Rip Current Risk: Watch Flags. Westerly winds can lead to rip currents! If you’re heading to the beach, hit up a lifeguard-protected area. Saturday is shaping up to be a beautiful beach day overall, though you’ll want to keep an eye on the sky for afternoon storms. Expect mostly sunny skies in the morning with west winds around 5 to 15 mph.

There’s only a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms Saturday, so you can plan your beach day with confidence. Just be prepared to head inside if a storm pops up in the afternoon—they could develop quickly. Bring plenty of water and sunscreen, as the heat and sun will be intense with heat index values climbing well above 100 degrees.

TROPICAL OUTLOOK - NEXT 7 DAYS

Remnants of Arthur merged with an offshore frontal system while continuing their northeast journey over cooler ocean waters. Combined with strong winds in the upper atmosphere, that puts an end to the first tropical storm of the season. The National Hurricane Center is not expecting any new tropical development through the next seven days. High pressure will continue to dominate our weather pattern early next week, keeping any tropical activity well away from Florida.
