.SYNOPSIS...
Light offshore winds this morning will veer around to an onshore
direction tonight as surface high pressure north of the region
shifts toward the southeastern US. A light to occasionally
moderate onshore flow will then persist into early next week,
becoming somewhat variable as a weak front stalls near the coast.
Dry weather is expected to prevail through the weekend, with rain
chances increasing early next week.
