.OUTLOOK (DAYS 3-5)...
THE CHANCE FOR SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY
NIGHT. DRIER AND WARMER CONDITIONS CAN BE EXPECTED BY TUESDAY AS
A WEAK SOUTHERLY FLOW DEVELOPS ACROSS THE AREA. A DRY FRONT WILL
MOVE THROUGH EARLY WEDNESDAY...TURNING WINDS BACK OFFSHORE AND
BRINGING COOLER AND DRIER AIR INTO THE REGION. SMALL CRAFT
ADVISORY CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE DURING THE DAY ON WEDNESDAY.


* A LOW RISK OF RIP CURRENTS MEANS THAT ANY RIP CURRENTS THAT DO
  FORM ARE LIKELY TO BE WEAK BUT STILL MAY POSE A DANGER TO POOR
  SWIMMERS. RESEARCH HAS SHOWN RIP CURRENTS ARE TYPICALLY MORE
  FREQUENT IN THE VICINITY OF JETTIES...INLETS...AND PIERS AND
  THESE CAN BE QUITE STRONG ON DAYS WHERE THE OVERALL RIP CURRENT
  THREAT IS LOW...ESPECIALLY IF STRONG SOUTHERLY OR NORTHEASTERLY
  WINDS EXIST.

* WAVE HEIGHT AND PERIOD FORECASTS ARE REPRESENTATIVE OF DEEP OCEAN
  WAVES OVER THE OFFSHORE WATERS...NOT SURF CONDITIONS.
