By Saturday, Ocean City will be almost rain free with only a 10% chance of rain at that point! Surfers and vacationers we spoke to today were looking forward to the mostly sunny weather for Saturday with a high of 77°! Surfers especially were see the large swells as it means more "hang time!" We can’t estimate the amount of rain from now through Friday, but Saturday & Sunday are shaping up nicely! We are still cautioning rip currents, so please swim only on guarded beaches.
