DISCUSSION
THE WEAK FRONT CONTINUES TO DRIFT SOUTH AND SHOULD EVENTUALLY STALL
NEAR THE COAST. WITH THAT WE WILL SEE GENERALLY LIGHT AND VARIABLE
WINDS THROUGH TODAY AND TONIGHT. TOMORROW AS HIGH PRESSURE BECOMES A
LITTLE MORE ESTABLISHED TO THE NORTHEAST WE WILL SEE RETURN FLOW SET
BACK UP OVER THE REGION. EXPECT THAT TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE REST OF
THE WORK WEEK WITH THE NEXT FRONT MOVING THROUGH THE REGION LATE
FRIDAY/EARLY THIS WEEKEND.

OUTLOOK FOR TUESDAY MARCH 31 THROUGH MONDAY APRIL 06
WEAK FRONTAL PASSAGE OVER THE WEEKEND COULD PROVIDE BRIEF OFFSHORE
FLOW, BUT THIS WILL FLIP BACK TO ONSHORE BY EARLY NEXT WEEK. AT
THIS TIME, DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE SIGNIFICANT IN TERMS OF
PRECIPITATION, AND COULD MAINLY BE A DRY FRONT, PRODUCING AN
STRONGER INCREASE IN OFFSHORE WINDS LATE NEXT WEEKEND INTO EARLY
NEXT WEEK. WILL FINE TUNE DETAILS AS WE GET CLOSER.
