Breezy conditions will continue Thursday. Another round of scattered showers and thunderstorms will develop in the morning alongside continued rough beach and boating conditions, keeping rip current risks elevated due to persistent onshore flow.

The weekend outlook looks very unsettled as an upper level system moves over us, keeping high rain chances in the forecast, along with heavy rain potential and a low threat for stronger storms.

While the weekend won't be a complete washout, storms can produce sudden downpours, frequent lightning, and brief gusty winds that require flexible outdoor planning.

Overall, today marks the peak of this windy weather pattern, with conditions gradually improving but remaining active through the weekend as more familiar summer storm patterns return to the region.
