Tuesday: Turning breezy, with elevated evening tides and a beach erosion threat

/ October 5, 2026 at 11:44 PM

Drier air will continue to push into the area overnight into Tuesday, but it won’t be enough to totally erode the cloud deck as some low-level moisture will remain trapped due to a wedge of high pressure building in from the north. We should see some breaks in the clouds, but otherwise, expect another mostly cloudy day across the area. We’ll start in the mid-50s, warming to the mid-70s in the afternoon (though that may be generous if cloud cover remains more stout). Of greater concern will be winds, especially the closer you get to the coast. Gusts will range from 20-25 MPH inland to 35-40 MPH at the coast. It could be a tricky drive over the bridges at times, so be alert to that. There’s not a formal Wind Advisory yet, but that may yet come with the overnight forecast update from NWS.
