.SYNOPSIS...
A mainly light onshore flow will become variable through today as
a weak surface front moves into the coastal waters and stalls.
Behind the front, a light northerly flow is expected. The front
is forecast to meander over the coastal waters into mid-week
before washing out, with southerly flow again expected to develop
over the region through the remainder of the forecast period.
Daily rain chances early in the period are expected to give way to
drier weather by the end of the period as high pressure develops
aloft.
