.SYNOPSIS...

High pressure to the northeast will continue southeasterly winds
across the waters with winds strengthening with the afternoon sea
breeze development across the nearshore zones each afternoon
through Thursday. Flow turns offshore late this week as a cold
front approaches from the north. That front should push into and
through most of the area waters Friday night into Saturday before
eventually stalling somewhere south of St Augustine. Shower and
thunderstorm chances will increase across the waters late this
week as flow becomes offshore and chances will continue into the
weekend in the vicinity of the stalled front.
