High pressure centered directly over our local waters this evening

flow. Evening wind surges may bring wind speeds up to near Caution
levels over the offshore waters, especially towards midweek. A
series of frontal boundaries will begin to approach our region
from the northwest beginning late on Thursday, followed by a front
stalling near our local waters next weekend, which could be
accompanied by scattered showers and thunderstorms.
