.SYNOPSIS...
Winds will shift to easterly Sunday and increase during next week

gradient across the waters. Winds will increase to exercise
caution to advisory levels at times by late Monday and remain
there through the rest of the week. Main hazard throughout the
forecast period will be isolated to scattered thunderstorms which
may cause locally gusty winds and rough seas.
