.SYNOPSIS...

High pressure centered to the east northeast and the remnants of a
weak low over the Georgia coast will create slightly elevated
southeasterly winds tonight with exercise caution conditions over
the local waters. The high will weaken and shift towards Bermuda
Sunday with decreasing winds and seas with a more typical summer
sea breeze-like pattern returning into early next week. Rounds of
showers and thunderstorms will continue to develop over our local
waters this weekend and into next week as prevailing winds become
southerly ahead of a weakening surface trough that will settle
over the southeastern states through midweek.
