Offshore Storms Extend Cloud Cover, With Coastal Swell and Rip Current Risk Rising

High pressure midweek will steer the systems out to sea, bringing a brief spell of cooler, drier air.

Skies are mostly sunny throughout the 7-day forecast but temperatures will dip a little toward the middle of the week before rebounding for a warm weekend
Meteorologist Tony Pann says it will be mostly cloudy but warm for the rest of Monday with a slight chance for showers later. Tuesday will be warmer once again and partly cloudy as temps will reach the upper 70s.
Clouds and Sprinkles Continue Tuesday
Tonight it will be cloudy with light winds as temperatures fall into the low 60s.

Overview

  • Maryland and much of the Mid-Atlantic to New England remain mostly cloudy yet seasonably mild, with highs in the 70s and only light, spotty sprinkles mainly south of Baltimore.
  • The thin overcast is tied to Tropical Storm Imelda and Hurricane Humberto well to the south, which are not forecast to make U.S. landfall.
  • Forecasters warn of increasing ocean swells, rough surf and dangerous rip currents by Wednesday, with Ocean City and other beaches advised to use caution.
  • Northeast winds are expected to freshen midweek, with gusts potentially reaching 30–40 mph toward Cape Cod as the ocean becomes more agitated.
  • Clearing arrives as high pressure builds, dropping highs to the upper 60s to low 70s with nighttime lows in the 40s before a warm, mostly dry weekend rebound.
