FORECAST:
Breezy conditions began picking up this afternoon and will stick around through the weekend.
The cause? Our protective ridge of high pressure will strengthen over the weekend, causing winds to pick up, gusting to 25 mph on Saturday and Sunday.
You'll notice a bit more cloud cover for the weekend, but radar will stay dry. Morning lows will start off in the 60s, and despite extra clouds, high temperatures will warm near 90° both days.
Great news for anyone headed to the beach, with winds from the east, surf height will stay less than one foot and the threat for rip currents will stay low.
WEEKEND BEACH FORECAST: It'll be breezy at the beach this weekend,but the good news is that with winds out of the east, there won't be a risk for rip currents. #flwx pic.twitter.com/0B0SfEXCMw

For our boaters, small craft are advised to exercise caution, especially farther offshore where wave heights between 4-5 feet will be possible Saturday and Sunday.
Looking ahead to next week, we stay sunny, dry and hot as we wrap up the month of April and head into May.
