Warm temperatures will continue for the first half of the week before a cold front knocks temperatures down below normal starting Thursday. Shower chances will be with us for much of the week, though, and we’ll be dealing with coastal flooding as well.

A decent weekend of weather awaits. While Saturday is the pick day of the weekend, if you are okay with dodging some showers, Sunday doesn’t look terrible, either. Generally speaking, we can expect highs in the low 80s each afternoon after lows in the mid-60s on Saturday and upper 60s to around 70° on Sunday. Breezy northeasterly to easterly winds will continue with high pressure still wedged southward across the area, though that high will begin to give way on Sunday and send rain chances up a little bit as a result. Can’t rule out some thunder, either, though that looks relatively unlikely.

We will need to watch times of high tide for minor to moderate coastal flooding as we approach the full moon next week. The continued onshore flow will help to drive water levels higher on top of already high astronomical tides, which should reach heights that will close some roads downtown. Be alert for possible Coastal Flood Advisories from the National Weather Service.

Temperatures will continue to be generally seasonable if not slightly cooler than normal for Friday and the weekend as high pressure continues to wedge southward into the area, though we will see an uptick in moisture and, eventually, rain chances heading into Sunday.

Thursday will give us a really nice taste of fall as cool high pressure wedges southward into the area. We’ll start the day with temperatures around 60°, warming to just the mid-70s under partly cloudy to mostly sunny skies. The northeasterly breeze will still be somewhat elevated, which may contribute to some minor tidal flooding around the 4:45 PM high tide. Otherwise, it’ll be an enjoyable day to get outside and touch some grass.

With Imelda departing to our east, high pressure will wedge down across the area, ushering in some cooler and drier air that’ll be particularly noticeable on Thursday. Shower chances return for Friday heading into the weekend, though.

The pressure gradient between high pressure to the north and Imelda to the southeast will be tightening on Tuesday, and we should have a fairly breezy and seasonably cool day once again thanks to those northeast winds as well as cloud cover and a few lingering showers. Temperatures start around 70°, but should only warm to the upper 70s to maybe 80° depending on breaks in the clouds. The decaying coastal front will still be able to contribute to a few showers, but we should see shower chances diminish as we get through Tuesday and Imelda pulls further and further offshore.

There’s a chance that we could see some minor tidal flooding Tuesday afternoon courtesy of elevated water levels due to the onshore, northeasterly flow. The better chances for coastal flooding will begin Wednesday, though, and may be with us for a little bit as we head toward a full moon next week.
