The weather on Sunday starts with a peaceful and cool atmosphere, ideal for outdoor activities like visiting your local farmers' market. The winds will be gentle, blowing from the north at a pleasant 10 to 15 mph. As the day progresses, temperatures will reach the low 80s (°F), so it's a great day to be out and about.

Beach Conditions: For those planning a beach day, the skies will be clear and sunny, but remember the high UV index. Sun protection is a must! While the rip current risk is low, it's always wise to check the flags at lifeguard stations. The winds will continue to blow from the north at 10-15 mph, keeping the atmosphere pleasant.
