Now satellite6 along with action radar showing this low pressure is essentially right over us but if you look at the radar echoes you can see how theyre getting less vibrant. What this low pressure is doing, its starting to collapse on itself. Its starting to weaken and that will gradually bring us nicer weather. The problem, though, down the shore, we still have the piling up of water. Its also a new moon so that means more flooding tonight. The next high tide between 7 30 and 9 30 and like weve seen there will be widespread street flooding, wave heights five to 8 feet and yes, additional beach erosion tonight. Now, future tracker showing tomorrow morning, dont expect a bright and sunny morning. 9 oclock the clouds are in place even a few scattered showers but as we head into the afternoon with that low pressure really weakening, we will see some peeks of sunshine but when you get the sunshine and colder air higher in the atmosphere you also get a few scattered showers popping up. So, 4 oclock we will see some showers not widespread, temps in the 60s and then on sunday morning, this is when a cold front rolls through. This will bring us a round of showers around 7 oclock in the morning but what that cold front will do, it will finally kick that low pressure out to sea, so look at what happens by lunchtime. The sun is back. Temperatures close to 70 degrees. We will not just see peaks of sunshine on sunday, we will see hours of it. So mothers day looking pretty nice. Gift from mother nature. Sunshine returns. At 8 oclock still a lot of clouds though. 54 by noon, it will be sunny, 64 by 4 oclock 70 degrees but hold on to your hats. Winds out of the northwest sustained up to about 20 miles per hour, could be gusting even higher. So the exclusive accuweather 7day forecast, tomorrow still a little bit unsettled, some scattered showers. Some sunshine by the afternoon but a lot of clouds the first half of the day. The high 66 degrees. On sunday, the sunshine is back. Its breezy and seasonable with a high of 70 and monday should be beautiful, mostly sunny very pleasant with a high of 72. On tuesday we warm things up to 78 degrees, partly sunny skies. Wednesday also 78. Not a washout but a few scattered showers and thunderstorms. On thursday, should dry things out, clouds and sun, 73. And friday the dad vail regatta at this point looks like showers are likely. Hopefully we can change that with a high of 70 degrees. So, taking your days sunday definitely better than saturday.
