.SYNOPSIS...

A weakening front will stall north of the waters tonight and
dissipate through the weekend as another front pushes into the
southeastern US early next week. This will promote nightly southerly
wind surges to Exercise Caution levels, mainly offshore through at
least the middle part of next week. The predominantly offshore flow
early next week will strengthen with the second front and increase
chances for afternoon thunderstorms that are steered into and across
the coastal waters.
