WEATHER OVERVIEW: Don’t put your winter clothes away just yet. This week the weather will be all over the place! We begin the week with winds out of the SSE and high temperatures in the mid 80’s. Wednesday the wind shifts out of the west and will bring thunderstorms as our next COLD front moves in. Beginning Thursday and lasting through the weekend we will experience high temps in the low to mid 60’s. Friday, Saturday and Sunday, the wind will be taking more of a NW to WNW pattern. Should be beautiful sunny skies as well so this could be a good opportunity to get a little surf fishing in this weekend, and the lagoons should be a good bet, as well.
