A cold front will drop southward into the area during the middle of the week, then low pressure will develop over the Ohio and Tennessee Valleys and track eastward late in the week.

What this buoy measures
This buoy is not reporting waves, water temperature, air temperature or barometric pressure. Conditions above come from the sensors it does carry, and the forecast, tides and sun times on this page are regional rather than measured at the buoy.
