.SYNOPSIS...

Onshore flow pattern continues as a weak warm front lifts north and
stalls across the northeast Florida and coastal waters through

warm front morphs into a coastal trough on Sunday, increasing rain
and thunderstorm chances over the waters. By Monday, the cold front
reach the Georgia waters and send a surge of northeasterly winds
southward down the coast. A period of small craft advisory
conditions are possible Monday and Tuesday with gradually weakening
northeasterly winds Wednesday onward. The front will continue toward
south Florida through the week with a reinforcing front pushing
towards the local waters by next weekend.
