.SYNOPSIS...
A weakening line of showers and embedded isolated thunderstorms
along the edge of a strong arctic cold front will move eastward
through the waters toward the open Atlantic this morning. Patchy sea
fog cannot be ruled out ahead of these showers through the early
morning hours. Behind the cold front winds will turn northwesterly
and become gusty resulting in Small Craft Advisory conditions
expanding across all coastal waters this afternoon. Rising seas will
push toward 6 to 10 feet tonight before both winds and seas begin to
relax. After a short break Tuesday and Wednesday, a couple more cold
fronts will push across the waters during the second half of the
week. The first front will pass Wednesday night and the second
Friday night with both fronts bringing periods of Small Craft
Advisory conditions to the local waters.
