What to expect this weekend

Temperatures will dip significantly, and that’s not all. The northwest winds will be kicking up, making the cold feel even sharper. So, if you’re heading out, be prepared for the chill! Keep those jackets, scarves, and hats ready because the winds will be gusty and will last throughout the weekend.

Marine conditions are rough

If you’re thinking of spending time near the water, think again! Marine warnings are in place due to rough sea conditions. The waters will be turbulent, and conditions will be challenging. It’s best to stay on dry land this weekend if you can, especially if you were planning on any water-based activities.

How to stay comfortable in the cold

This weekend’s cold is nothing to take lightly. If you plan on going out, layer up and keep your comfort in mind. With the combination of cold temperatures and gusty winds, it’s crucial to stay warm and protected. For those in outdoor activities, make sure to keep an eye on the weather and dress in appropriate layers to stay cozy!
