The breezy conditions will stay with us and turn windier as Ida approaches us this week. Ida will be a player in our forecast, but not in a tropical sense, thankfully. Ida will move into the northern Gulf of Mexico Monday and Tuesday where she will meet with a cold front diving south, causing her to lose her tropical characteristics. The two will combine and move through here this Wednesday. This does mean windy conditions, a good chance of rain, followed by cooler weather. Keep on eye on the forecast for updates to the severity of weather the combined system will bring.

Today: Mostly sunny and continued breezy. Highs in the lower 80s. East winds at 10-20 mph.

Tonight: Partly cloudy with an occasional wind gust, 15mph, and early morning temperatures near 66.

Monday: Breezy conditions, 15-20mph, causing rough seas and dangerous beach conditions. Partly cloudy with an isolated shower. Highs into the lower 80s. Coverage 20%.
