Live AI Coastal Briefing
Tuesday, May 26, is shaping up to be a unique day along our beautiful coast, with a mix of overcast skies and muggy conditions. However, before we dive into the day's forecast, I want to immediately address the active Tornado Watch that's in effect, so please make sure to stay tuned to local news and weather reports for any updates. With the temperature currently sitting at 66°F and humidity at a very high 98%, it's going to feel quite muggy out there.
The ocean conditions are looking pretty inviting for surfers, with a surf height of 2.4 feet, which is knee to waist high, making it a lot of fun for longboarders. Given the water temperature is at 61°F, I'd recommend wearing a 3/2 wetsuit to stay comfortable. As for the tides, I recommend checking your local tide chart for the exact times of low and high tide, but with the moderate Atlantic surf conditions, it should be a great day to catch some waves.
For all you runners, cyclists, and outdoor enthusiasts, the wind is currently blowing at a gentle 2mph from the NNE, and with 82% cloud cover, it's a great time to get out and enjoy the morning. The UV index is low, so you don't need to worry too much about sun protection, and with excellent air quality, it's a perfect day to get some exercise. If you're planning on going fishing or paddleboarding, the calm conditions should make for a great day on the water, and the low rip current risk means you can enjoy the ocean with standard beach safety precautions.
As we look ahead to the rest of the day, it's going to be a great opportunity to enjoy all the coastal activities our beautiful area has to offer, from beach volleyball to simply taking a stroll along the shore. With no rain expected today or tonight, it's shaping up to be a wonderful day to get out and soak up the coastal lifestyle, despite the Tornado Watch. So, make sure to stay safe, stay informed, and enjoy all that our stunning coastline has to offer, and we'll see you back here tomorrow with another update.
