The air temperature will hit the mid-60s at best. Winds will be from the southeast at 10 miles per hour. The lightning threat is moderate, which means that thunderstorms are possible.

There's a moderate risk of rip currents today, which means swimmers planning to go in the water should check with local beach patrols today. Always swim within sight of a lifeguard, never swim alone or at night and bring a floatation device with you.
