.SYNOPSIS...Southerly winds will increase to moderate by Friday,
along with building seas, ahead of an approaching front. The
approaching front will bring showers and thunderstorms to the
marine area tonight through Saturday. It should be noted that a
wake low may possibly develop late tonight behind the initial
line of storms, which could lead to a brief window of gusty winds
for marine zones near the coast. A light offshore flow returns
late in the weekend into early next week in the wake of the front.
