Strong north to northeast winds will keep things choppy, and entering the water is strongly discouraged for now.

As we move into the weekend, the pattern begins to shift in your favor. Rain chances drop off, skies gradually clear, and winds ease up as high pressure settles in. While a stray shower can’t be ruled out on Friday, especially near the coast, most of the weekend looks drier and calmer overall.

Temperatures rebound nicely this weekend with highs back in the 80s. Overnight lows will remain mild in the upper 60s and low 70s.

By Tuesday and Wednesday, a weak front could bring back a slight chance of showers and a bit more cloud cover, but overall, expect a warm, more spring-like stretch ahead.
