Ocean City will enjoy some October weather in December this weekend as the forecast calls for sunny weather with highs in the low to mid-60s.
While the mainland flirts with record warmth, Ocean City will see slightly cooler temperatures due to its proximity to a 51-degree ocean. But the wind will be light and out of the southwest.
Saturday’s forecast calls for patchy fog before 10 a.m., then a mostly sunny day with a high near 65 degrees.
Sunday will be sunny with a high near 64 degrees.
The surf forecast calls for 1 to 2 foot waves both days.
The weather should be ideal for weekend events that include:
