south and then southwest on Sunday ahead of another cold front,
which could be accompanied by a few thunderstorms on Sunday night.
Arctic high pressure will then build into the southeast states in
the wake of this cold frontal passage early next week, continuing
Small Craft Advisory conditions into early next week as breezy
northwest winds shift to north while strengthening further on Monday
