.Synopsis...

A moderate to fresh breeze will continue across the local waters for
the end of the week and to begin the weekend. Winds briefly decrease
today and will start shifting easterly and eventually southerly by
the late afternoon, but these winds will become stronger again
tonight into Saturday as an area of low pressure develops over the
southeast US and western Atlantic.  As a cold front pushes closer to
the area later on Saturday, there would be potential for a few
showers as well.

Gulf Stream Hazards: Lingering 5-7 foot seas in the Atlantic waters
early this morning.

Jan 09, 2025...
