High pressure wedging into the area from the north will make for a beautiful Labor Day and start to climatological fall. Temperatures are starting in the low to mid-60s for the first time since early June, and we’ll warm to the low to mid-80s in the afternoon under mostly sunny skies with an elevated northeasterly breeze keeping things on the cool side.

If the beaches are in your plans, it’ll be noticeably windier there — gusts 25-30 MPH will be possible — and there is a high risk of rip currents today as a result. Today just won’t be a good day to get into the ocean as it could turn dangerous in a hurry. However, the refreshing dry air and comfortable warmth will certainly help make up for it!
