.SYNOPSIS...
Winds will generally stay below 10 knots through the rest of the
week as a weak cold front is draped across the area with isolated
showers and storms remaining possible. High pressure over the
Eastern Seaboard throughout the weekend will result in winds
increasing out of the east between 15 to 20 knots, before
diminishing and shifting more out of the south early next week.
