Live AI Coastal Briefing

Good morning, I'm happy to welcome you to Tuesday, May 26, a day that's shaping up to be quite unique along our beautiful coastal stretch. We do have an active alert to start the day, a Tornado Watch is in effect, so please make sure to stay informed and up to date with the latest developments. The overall character of today is marked by heavy overcast, with 92% cloud cover and a very high humidity level, making it feel quite muggy.



The ocean conditions are looking pretty good for surfers, with a surf height of 2.3 feet, which is knee to waist high and perfect for longboarders. Given the water temperature is a chilly 57°F, a 4/3 full wetsuit is strongly recommended for anyone planning to spend time in the water. As for tides, I recommend checking your local tide chart for the exact times of low and high tide, as this information is not currently available.



For all you runners, cyclists, and outdoor enthusiasts, the wind is currently blowing at 4mph from the north, with gusts up to 13mph, and the cloud cover is quite heavy, so you may want to plan your activities accordingly. The UV index is low, so no special protection is needed, and with excellent air quality, it's a great day to get out and enjoy the fresh air. If you're planning on going fishing or paddleboarding, the calm conditions should make for a great experience, just be sure to keep an eye on the weather.



As we look ahead to the rest of the day, the conditions are expected to remain largely unchanged, with no rain expected and temperatures remaining steady. Please do keep in mind the Tornado Watch and stay tuned for any updates or changes in the weather. I hope you all have a great day and make the most of the beautiful coastal scenery, and we'll see you back here tomorrow with another update.
