.SYNOPSIS...

A weak front located just south of the coastal waters will
gradually weaken today and tonight. Due to the prolixity of this
front, there will be a few showers possible today across the
coastal waters. Otherwise, a dry forecast is expected through next
week as high pressure aloft builds into the region from the west.
Onshore flow will begin to increase early next week and continue
that trend throughout next week. Seas will respond accordingly
and slowly build throughout next week as well.
