DISCUSSION
MULITPLE ROUNDS OF THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO IMPACT THE AREA OF
OPERATIONS THROUGH TONIGHT AS A COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH THE REGION.
THESE STORMS WILL PRODUCE STRONG GUSTY WINDS, ROUGH SEAS, WATERSPOUTS,
LIGHTNING, AND HAIL. WINDS WILL BE FROM THE SOUTHEAST AT 10 TO 15
KNOTS THIS AFTERNOON, BUT WILL SHIFT TO THE EAST AND THEN
EAST-NORTHEAST DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. WINDS WILL ALSO INCREASE
TO 25 TO 30 KNOTS OVERNIGHT AND A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY IS IN PLACE
FOR THE WATERS DUE TO THE STRONG WINDS AND HAZARDOUS SEAS EXPECTED.
ANY RAIN WILL END EARLY TOMORROW MORNING WITH CLEAR SKIES BY THE
AFTERNOON. THE STRONG NORTH-NORTHEAST WINDS OF 25 TO 30 KNOTS WILL
ALSO PERSIST THROUGH THE DAY. TEMPERATURES WILL BE COOL, SO THERE
WILL BE NO HEAT RELATED CONCERNS.
