According to First Alert Meteorologist Corey Simma, a few morning showers pushed inland, but skies cleared out and are sunny at the beach. It’s more cloudy inland.

Onshore winds are breezy, and there is a high risk of rip currents in place this weekend.

Simma says most places will be dry, and if it rains, the showers will be brief.

Temperatures will warm up a tad tomorrow, and it’s supposed to get hot next week.

However, Simma says that since it’s the dry season, it’s not abnormal to have dry stretches this time of year.
