Ocean City Morning Report: Sun Returns, Far-Off Storm Brews, Museum Arrives

The sun returns on Friday and should offer a spectacular start to the weekend with high air temperatures topping out at 83 degrees and a light north breeze keeping the ocean warm.

The water was about 72 degrees for most of Thursday, and those comfy conditions should stick around for Friday. High tide on the beaches will be 11:04 a.m. and low tide 5:14 p.m.

Storm activity in the tropics is warming up. Far off in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, Tropical Storm Dorian has been named and is gathering a little bit of strength.

Dorian's track likely will be north of the major Caribbean islands, but from there it's too early to tell where he'll head.

If you're looking to get off the beach and boardwalk, the New Jersey Hall of Fame Mobile Museum will be in Ocean City through Sunday.

The museum features an 850-square-foot multimedia exhibit that unfolds from the back of a 53-foot expandable trailer.

It's not too early to start planning for playoff soccer this weekend in Ocean City. The resort's successful Premier Development League amateur team will compete for a title.
