to the NE on Wednesday ahead of an approaching cold front, and
there will also be increased coverage of the showers and storms on
Wednesday. This cold front is expected to move through the
coastal waters late Wednesday night into Thursday bringing
moderate to strong northerly winds through Thursday night. Seas
