For the forecast, low level onshore flow will weaken today with dry warm conditions into the weekend. The upper level low to our Southeast will move further inland but low pressure inland and high pressure offshore will still contribute to unsettled conditions for today. The marine stratus layer will once again lift and become convective later this morning. Thursday morning is looking fairly sunny with some convective cloud development in the afternoon. Drier and mostly sunny for Friday into the weekend.
