.SYNOPSIS...

A cold front will enter the southeastern states tonight and will
progress southeastward across our local waters on Friday afternoon
and evening. Additional rounds of strong to severe thunderstorms
will be possible after sunrise Friday and again during the
afternoon hours ahead of this front. Winds will shift to
northwesterly in the wake of the frontal passage on Friday night
and Saturday morning, with weak high pressure the expected to
build eastward from the Ozarks on Saturday night, reaching the
coastal Carolina region by Monday afternoon. This weather pattern
will result in onshore wind development on Sunday afternoon, with
onshore winds then strengthening on Monday night ahead of an
approaching warm front. Showers and thunderstorms will overspread
