The sea state will be choppy to moderate. High temperatures today will be around 89 degrees Fahrenheit along the coast; 93 degrees Fahrenheit inland and a warm 81 degrees Fahrenheit up in the hills.

Low temperatures at dawn on Sunday will be around 8 around eighty degrees Fahrenheit along the coast; 75 degrees Fahrenheit inland and a comfortable 70 degrees Fahrenheit up at the higher elevations of the Mountain Pine Ridge and along the Maya Mountains in the south.

The tides: there will be a high tide at 3:29 PM today, then a low tide occurs at 9:40 PM.

The will set this evening at 6:32 PM. Sunrise on Sunday is at 5:23 am.

The extended forecast valid through to Sunday is for some cloudy spells with a few showers or isolate thunderstorms developing.
