.SYNOPSIS...A frontal boundary will slowly sag south into the

southward over the offshore waters tonight through this weekend.
Coverage of shower and storms will remain high over the next
several days, with stronger storms capable of gusty winds,
frequent lightning, heavy rainfall, and locally higher seas.


.GULF STREAM HAZARDS...None.
