After a week of gloomy, cloudy, and at times rainy weather, we will get a nice break this weekend as conditions improve. The same high pressure that’s caused Hurricane Florence to make landfall on the Carolinas by blocking its northward progress will bring us sunnier weather. Indeed, some of the cloud cover over our area is actually a result of outflow from Florence. Its remnants will impact us with rain at some point early next week.

Rest of today – mostly cloudy with high temperatures in the mid-70s as winds continue from the east. High surf with waves 8-12 feet are possible at the coast due to Florence.

Saturday – decreasing clouds as high pressure continues to build. High temperatures around 80ºF.

Sunday – sunny, high near 80ºF, high pressure remains in control.

Monday – clouds and the chance for rain returns. More moist air returns as the high pressure that gives us nice weather over the weekend slides east (and the flow on its western side starts to bring moisture from the south up). We’ll need to monitor the progress of the remnants of Florence as they are likely to bring us rain.
