High pressure to our north combined with developing low pressure offshore will cause breezy to windy conditions to last through the first part of the weekend. Coastal areas will be most affected. Wave heights and tides will increase, also. Right now, forecasters think that the low will stay far enough offshore so that all the rain will stay away from Hampton Roads. Coastal areas have a slight chance of a shower over the weekend. The high will be very slow to move away so we expect the same conditions into early next week but most likely the winds should ease a bit. Due to the northeasterly winds, temperatures will be very nice. Note that a stronger storm may affect parts of the east coast late next week but we have plenty of time to fine tune the forecast. Some of the computer models have been hinting of a nor’easter type storm affecting the East Coast. One thing is fairly certain… our winds are going to be out of the NE for much of the next several days. That means that there won’t be any really warm weather to speak of. I’ll have an update over the weekend.
