Get out there early!

Showers develop once again later today into tonight.

Intermittent wet periods continue due to the lack of protection from an uncharacteristically weak Bermuda-Azores high to our east while low pressure meanders to our west. While a few dry breaks may occur, we are far from seeing any permanent pattern shift through the forecast period. Light to moderate wind will maintain mostly slight seas, perhaps touching moderate this weekend.

Early cloud gradually diminishes and getting warmer.

Although high pressure remains the dominant feature from the northeast with a moderate easterly wind, areas of low level convergence will aid isolated showers developing at times. An inverted trough to the east may also introduce a couple of isolated showers around the area. Convergence lingers over the area next week and may bring the greater potential for wet weather. calm through the weekend.
