But tomorrow will be stormier than today
Rain & storms will pop up during the afternoon & evening, including the beaches
Onshore winds set in starting Tuesday, lasting through Thursday
There will still be some rain & storms, but mainly inland
We can’t rule out a shower or two near the coast each morning
Beaches will get rougher due to the onshore wind
We’ll have a high rip current risk through late week
A few storms continue each day next weekend, including the Fourth
At this time, we’ll be drying out from storms earlier in the day July 4^th Evening

Showers and storms over the Carolinas will push southward into the W. Atlantic
As that rain merges with a stalled front, we could see some weak low pressure develop
Indications at this time show a very weak, meandering system moving very slow
This does not appear to be a significant system (and it may not become a system at all)
Given the current forecast, we are not concerned about this area
Even with a weak low pressure area forming, we’ll still see onshore winds over our area
If we do get a named storm, it will be “Bertha” – the second named storm of the season
