Live AI Coastal Briefing

It's Tuesday, May 26, and I'm glad you're joining me for your morning coastal weather update. We have a significant alert to start the day, as a Tornado Watch is currently in effect, so please stay tuned for updates and follow all instructions from local authorities. Today's conditions are quite unique, with a heavy overcast and very high humidity, making for a muggy morning along the coast.



The ocean conditions are looking great for surfers, with a solid surf and waves reaching waist to chest high at 3.1 feet. If you're planning to get in the water, I strongly recommend wearing a 4/3 full wetsuit, as the water temperature is a chilly 57°F. As for tide times, I recommend checking your local tide chart for the most up-to-date information, as we don't have specific times available at the moment.



For all you runners, cyclists, and outdoor enthusiasts, be aware that the wind is blowing at 6mph from the north, and the cloud cover is 100%, making for a gloomy morning. The UV index is low, so you won't need to worry about extra protection, but the moderate air quality, with an AQI of 71, may be a concern for sensitive individuals, who should limit their outdoor exercise. If you're planning to go fishing or paddleboarding, the calm winds might make for a great morning on the water, but be sure to check the conditions regularly.



As we look ahead to the rest of the day, we're not expecting any rain, but the Tornado Watch remains in effect, so please stay informed and up-to-date with the latest forecast. The temperature is expected to rise, but we don't have a specific high temperature available at the moment. I hope you have a great day along the coast, and I'll see you back here tomorrow with another update - stay safe and enjoy the unique character of our historic beach community.
