Westerly breezes will freshen over the area marine zones later this
evening, then continue through Thursday morning. High pressure
developing over the Gulf will build into the area tomorrow into
Friday and then shift offshore by early Saturday ahead of the next
cold frontal passage. Strong high pressure building to the north of
our region in the wake of this front will support fresh to strong
northerly breezes Sunday night, slowly veering to the northeast on

through Thursday morning.
