Beachgoers along the mid-Atlantic were jolted by unusually cold ocean water with highs near 58 degrees in Chincoteague during the wild pony roundup. Lifeguards at Assateague Island report the coldest sea temps in 20 years as satellite data show a band of chill from Long Island to Virginia Beach. Scientists attribute the dip to upwelling where offshore winds replace surface warmth with cold water.
