Smoky skies with scattered showers

Increasing rain chances then cooler weather

. (.)

The onshore flow continues with hazy skies from smoke that has traveled from far eastern Canada around an area of high pressure.  Similar pattern, similar forecast with smoky, hazy skies due to the smoke for Wednesday.  Later in the week, a cold front will sweep through the area with cooler temperatures and drier air this weekend and early next week.

Smoke:  Hazy and occasional smoky skies across parts of southeast Georgia and northeast Florida are due to wildfires over eastern Canada.  The smoke has traveled southward over the Eastern Seaboard and visibilities are down to 5 miles at times.

Now:  Partly cloudy and smoky with a few isolated showers.

Tonight:  Partly cloudy and mild with patchy to dense fog.

Wednesday:  Partly cloudy and breezy.  Northeast wind 15-20 mph, gusting to near 30 mph.  Patchy fog early then becoming partly cloudy.  Mainly dry aside from stray coastal showers, 10-20 percent.  Morning lows in the 60s to low 70s.  Afternoon highs in the low to mid 80s.  Hazy smoke from distant fires.  Air Quality: projected around the “Good” to “Moderate” range which is healthy to all except those with respiratory limitations.

Hazards:  High risk of Rip Currents along our beaches.

Looking ahead:  The northeast wind will continue as a cold front bringing increasing chances of rain and cooler temperatures.
