.SYNOPSIS...

A cold front sagging to the coast and stalling today will shift a

light to at times moderate southwesterly flow to northwesterly.

Another system passing over the area this weekend will shift

winds back to onshore by Friday night, where it remains until a

front moving over area waters Monday brings moderate to strong

offshore flow. Daily showers and thunderstorms may create

hazardous conditions for craft out on area waters.
