.DISCUSSION...

High pressure will be located to the northeast of the area through Saturday.
Weak troughs are expected to develop over the coastal waters in the onshore
flow, which will result in a few showers. These showers will move ashore at
times Saturday. Right now it looks like the best chance for these coastal
showers at this site will be in the morning. Forecasting the location of
and timing of these bands is a challenge, so while showers are not in the
forecast into the afternoon, they can not be completely ruled out.

Due to convergence in this onshore flow, elevated and gusty winds are also
expected.
