.MARINE... Light southerly winds are expected over the waters today. Winds turn northerly late tonight behind a weak cold front, and remain northerly through the day tomorrow. Gusts to around 15 kt may be possible during the afternoon hours. Winds turn southerly again Sunday into Sunday night, and may approach low-end SCA levels Sunday evening. Winds turn NNW behind a weak cold front on Monday, and SCAs may be necessary as high pressure builds to the west and winds increase in response to the tighter gradient. SCAs could continue into Monday night, especially over the southern waters, but winds should diminish on Tuesday. Update as of: 357 AM EDT Fri Oct 4 2024
