SYNOPSIS
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL EXIT OUR OFFSHORE WATERS TOWARDS
MIDNIGHT. OTHERWISE, A COLD FRONT ENTERING THE SOUTHEASTERN
STATES ON FRIDAY MORNING WILL SWEEP ACROSS OUR LOCAL WATERS ON
FRIDAY NIGHT. WEST-SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS WILL GRADUALLY INCREASE
AHEAD OF THIS FRONT ON FRIDAY. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL
INCREASE ACROSS OUR LOCAL WATERS DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON AND
EVENING HOURS, WITH ACTIVITY CONTINUING OVERNIGHT AS THE FRONT
CROSSES OUR LOCAL WATERS. STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE

THE FRONT WILL CROSS THE GEORGIA WATERS BEFORE SUNRISE ON

THIS FEATURE THEN STRENGTHENING OVER THE MID-ATLANTIC STATES EARLY
