Today's Atmospheric/Ocean Weather

Morning

Evening

ATMOSPHERE ---Finally, the weather we should have had the entire month of July. Southwesterly winds, highs around 80, humid, with a chance of afternoon thunderstorms. A typical summer day.

Plots of today's weather data from the Field Station are shown below. Times are in GMT.

Other Sites: Current NOAA marine forecast, The Weather Channel, Buoy Observations

OCEAN --With a return of typical summer weather, the ocean is beginning to warm up at the surface also. Temps rose above 24 C for the first time today. The southwesterlies should begin an upwelling process today, but it will be many days before it hits the beach. It will probably be the best beach week of the entire year.
