The forecast looks fantastic on Friday. The onshore wind will continue and it could get a little bumpy for boaters.
The easterly flow will continue into the weekend as the area of high pressure to our north remains situated along the eastern seaboard. The high will shift eastward through Friday, leading to lighter wind and a shift to southeasterly-southerly this weekend. The drier airmass continues, limiting our chances of showers and storms through Sunday.
Rain chances will increase next week as the wind swings back to the north-northeast through Wednesday.
