.SYNOPSIS...A cold front will cross the area today, bringing a
renewed chance of offshore moving showers and thunderstorms, a few
of which could become strong to severe. Boating conditions will
deteriorate rapidly and become hazardous tonight with the passage
of the front. Poor to hazardous boating conditions then linger
into mid-week, as seas will be slow to subside.

A low pressure system is forecast to cross the peninsula late week
and into the weekend, leading to yet another round of poor to
hazardous boating conditions. Increased coverage of showers, with
a few lightning storms, is also expected.

.GULF STREAM HAZARDS...None.
