The First Warning Storm Team is tracking scattered showers overnight and Thursday.
Scattered rain will continue into the overnight hours with lows in the lower 70s. It’ll be on the breezy side with winds out of the NE at 10-15 mph. Patchy fog possible tonight into tomorrow morning. We’ll continue with gusty NE winds on Thursday. Expect mostly cloudy skies, but won’t be as wet. You’ll still want to keep that umbrella handy, because scattered rain showers are in the forecast and a heavy downpour is not out of the question. Nuisance flooding is possible around high tide tomorrow which occurs at 2:00 pm at Sewell’s Point. Highs a bit warmer in the upper 70s to lower 80s.
A few lingering showers possible on Friday, otherwise mostly cloudy skies. Highs in the lower 80s.
Good news! Drier conditions as we head into Friday night and Saturday, as high pressure builds in. A mixture of sun and clouds with highs in the mid 80s on Saturday. Cooler conditions behind a cold front on Sunday, with highs in the low to mid 70s.
Tonight: Mostly cloudy. scattered showers (40%). Windy. Lows in the low 70s. Winds: NE 10-20 mph, gusts to 25.
