Weekend forecast: Looking good, but still flooding at high tide

/ September 29, 2023 at 10:42 PM

Overall, the weekend forecast is looking solid for doing stuff outside. Expect comfortable starts in the mid-60s (warmer at the beaches), more than ample sunshine (especially Sunday), and warm afternoons with high pressure in control. Saturday looks to be the warmest day of the set with highs topping out around 85° in the afternoon. A reinforcing round of slightly cooler air moves in for Sunday, and that will help cap highs in the low 80s.

Coastal flooding remains a threat into next week

The only weather problem heading into the weekend remains coastal flooding at times of high tide. We’ll see another round of moderate coastal flooding with the 9:15 AM high tide Saturday, followed by a round of minor flooding with the late evening high tide. This essentially repeats on Sunday, and with northeasterly winds strengthening a little bit as reinforcing high pressure builds in, we could be back into major flood stage with the mid-morning high tide on Monday. Be keeping an ear out for coastal flood alerts from the National Weather Service so you know when flooding will be possible.
