Today: Mostly sunny in the morning, then partly cloudy with a 20 % chance of showers in the afternoon. Highs in the lower 90s. East winds 10 to 15 mph.

Tonight: A 10 %chance of showers before 8pm. Partly cloudy, with a low around 67. East wind between 6 and 9 mph becoming calm.

Forecast Details: Moderately strong high pressure is over the northeast with a ridge extending south along the coast to central Florida. A 250 MB shortwave trough is producing considerable high cloudiness over the northeastern Gulf of Mexico and models show little change in this feature today. Thus the local area may not see much of the dense cirrus until tonight or Wednesday.

The aforementioned high will migrate off the middle-Atlantic coast today and send another surge in our direction. Ridge axis to our north will take on an east-west orientation for the remainder of the week. A long fetch of easterly winds develops and periodic inverted troughs in the flow will isolated showers to form over the coastal waters and moving onshore early each morning then isolated rain showers over the interior in the afternoon. Best chances will be over south portion where gradient is stronger. Breezy winds of 15-20 miles per hour with higher gusts are anticipated each day especially near the coast.

Highs will continue above normal today with middle 90s for the interior and upper 80s at the beaches. Then a stronger Easterly flow will bring more moderate temperatures with middle 80s coast to low 90s inland. Lows will be near or above normal. Onshore flow will increase low level moisture allowing nighttime fog in low lying areas.

Today's Pollen Levels: 8.5 Medium High (on a scale to 12); Predominate Pollen: Ragweed, Grass and Chenopods.
