.SYNOPSIS...High pressure builds over the local waters through
late week, allowing onshore winds to increase leading to poor to
hazardous boating conditions across the coastal waters. Then,
moisture increases Saturday into Sunday, promoting increased
chances for showers and lightning storms. By early next week,
south southwest winds prevail, as a frontal boundary stalls north
of the waters and shower chances linger.

.GULF STREAM HAZARDS...East winds near 20 knots and gusty. Seas
building to 7 feet.
