.SYNOPSIS...

A cold front to the north of the area will progress southeastward
across our local waters this afternoon and evening. Additional
rounds of strong to severe thunderstorms will be possible early
this morning, then again during the afternoon hours ahead of this
front. Winds will shift to northwesterly in the wake of the
frontal passage on Friday night and Saturday morning, with weak
high pressure the expected to build eastward over waters on
Saturday night, and persisting through Sunday. This weather
pattern will result in onshore wind development on Sunday
afternoon, with onshore winds then strengthening on Monday night
ahead of an approaching warm front. Showers and thunderstorms will
overspread our local waters by late Monday night as this warm
front lifts northeastward across our area.
