bays later this morning and early this afternoon and provide
chances for some scattered showers and thunderstorms. A cold front
will push into the coastal waters late in the day. Winds will
shift to the north 10 to 20 knots in its wake...but steadily
increase to 20 to 30 knots overnight. A Small Craft Advisory will

front Friday night followed by an even stronger front Saturday
