.SYNOPSIS...
Surge of northeast gale force winds and very rough seas will
continue through tonight. Coastal troughing will also take shape
over the near shore waters adjacent to northeast Florida, generating
scattered showers that will persist into Sunday. Strong high
pressure will continue its southeastward progress tonight, with this
feature shifting off the Carolina coast near the Outer Banks by
early Sunday afternoon. Winds will shift to easterly towards sunrise
on Sunday, with Small Craft Advisory conditions continuing through
Sunday night and Monday across our local waters. Coastal troughing
will dissipate by Tuesday as Atlantic high pressure extends its axis
westward across the southeastern states, with breezy southeasterly
winds expected to continue through late next week, maintaining
elevated seas across the offshore waters.
