A cool start Wednesday morning. Expect temperatures in the upper 50s to near 60.
Refreshing air moves in on Wednesday behind a cold front. Dewpoints will fall into the 50s and temperatures will be in the mid and upper 70s. It will be a bit on the breezy side with winds out of the northeast. Some tidal flooding will be possible at times of high tide. High tide at Sewells Point is at 12 pm. There will also be a high risk of rip currents at area beaches, so watch out for those red flags.
Expect a very similar day for Thursday. Temperatures will be in the low 70s. It will still be breezy, but a great weather to open those windows!
Temperatures will warm a bit on Friday, but still comfortable. High temperatures will be in the mid 70s. Dewpoints will start to creep up as well. We will continue with the warm up into the weekend with highs in the low 80 and mid 80s.
