.DISCUSSION...
Waves of low pressure moving along a cold front will help push the
front south and east of the coastal waters on Saturday. As the low
tracks to the east, it will help drive the front offshore later
tonight into Saturday. Strong northerly winds of 20 to 25 knots will
persist through Sunday morning over all of the waters, and a Small
Craft Advisory has been issued for these conditions. Winds and seas
will quickly fall off to less than 10 knots and 3 feet on Sunday as
a broad area of high pressure settles over the region. As the high
shifts to the east on Tuesday, winds will turn southerly at 10 to
15 knots and remain so into Wednesday, when another cold front will
approach the waters.
