overnight and in the morning with northeast to east breezes late
afternoon and evening. In addition, the overall flow will keep
deep moisture in place across the region with daily chances of
showers and thunderstorms. Locally hazardous winds and seas are
expected in the vicinity of thunderstorm activity.
