Second day of summer and the consistent beach weather continues

Yesterday - Friday 6/21 - was the first day of astronomical summer (different from meteorological summer) and the weather continues to be consistent.  An upper level low pressure is spinning around over Georgia at the moment, producing showers and storms today at Santa Rosa Beach:
Upper level Low (red "L") over Georgia
After that feature moves northward the main influence on beach weather will be the Bermuda High parked off the eastern Atlantic coast of the U.S., pumping air northward from the Gulf of Mexico via southwesterly winds on the backside of this semi-permanent summer high pressure system.  This will continue the trend of afternoon showers and thunderstorms throughout the next seven days with temperatures each day peaking in the mid- to upper 80's and dropping to the mid-70's at night.

Looks like another great beach week coming up!
