.DISCUSSION...
Onshore winds of around 10 knots will persist through Monday with
multiple clusters/periods of showers and storms at times through
Monday afternoon. A few of these storms could be strong to severe
with the main concern being wind gusts greater than 34 knots and
waterspouts. A frontal boundary will move into the waters Monday
morning, bringing offshore winds and drying out conditions through
the end of the upcoming week.
