.SYNOPSIS...

Prevailing winds have shifted to easterly as high pressure
building over the Mid-Atlantic states wedges down the southeastern
seaboard. Showers and thunderstorms will increase in coverage
across our local waters along and south of a stalled frontal
boundary through today. The frontal boundary will gradually
slide southward dissipate over the local waters by Thursday, with
prevailing onshore winds continuing as high pressure weakens off
the eastern seaboard. Storm coverage will decrease Friday through
Saturday, with prevailing winds then shifting to southwesterly
during the weekend ahead of the next slowing frontal boundary
approaching from the north.
