Today's Atmospheric/Ocean Weather

Morning
Evening
 ATMOSPHERE ---Ugh! Northeasterlies, big waves, and lots of rain. Today, there was a downwelling/mixing storm for the coastal waters. Temperatures were in the 60s all day, and actually dropped as the day wore on. Not a good weather day.
Plots of today's weather data from the Field Station are shown below. Times are in GMT.
