The UV Index will rise to level 8, which can cause skin damage and sunburn. It is important to wear sunscreen to protect your skin when outdoors this today once again. The sun will be strongest between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m.
High temperatures push to the 80s for inland areas away from the Sound. Shore points will be cooler, with temperatures in the 70s because the ocean water temperatures are only in the low to mid-50s. Swimming is not recommended as the water temperature is dangerous and can cause hypothermia.
This afternoon will feature extra clouds in comparison, but temperatures will be a good bit warmer. The next chance for rain is Wednesday of next week. There is a risk of thunderstorms as a cold front brings relief, with cooler temperatures for the end of the week and next weekend.
