 Light to modest onshore flow is expected to continue for the
 remainder of the week. Main concern will be the potential for sea
 fog development during the night and morning hours. On Saturday a
 cold front will move across the coastal waters late in the day.
 Strong and gusty northerly winds are expected to develop behind
 the front by Sunday.
