Highs will be dropping back to the mid-80s. Onshore winds strengthen again, blowing 10–20 mph with gusts up to 25 mph, keeping the coastal flooding risk elevated or even worsening.

Saturday through early next week, a non-tropical low offshore will keep winds breezy and beach/marine hazards in play, but drier air arrives Sunday. This will drop rain chances to near zero and bring a more fall-like feel with humidity, and overnight lows may even dip into the 60s with highs in the low/mid 80s!
