Any lingering showers and thunderstorms will come to an end by this

A mainly light to moderate onshore flow and somewhat elevated seas are
anticipated this week and into the start of the weekend. Caution flags
might occasionally be needed. Periods of unsettled weather are possible,
though better shower and thunderstorm chances should be situated a bit
further inland for much of the forecast period as the next cold stays
