 .SYNOPSIS...
 
 Surface high pressure will shift further south today causing winds
 to gradually increase from the south and southwest and reach exercise
 caution levels by late this afternoon and early evening. A cold
 front will move into the southeast states tonight and move into
 the area waters on Thursday morning and move through Thursday
 afternoon with showers and a few stronger thunderstorms. Strong
 northwest winds in the wake of this frontal passage will create
 Small Craft Advisory conditions throughout our local waters by
 late Thursday afternoon, with these conditions continuing on
 Thursday night and Friday morning as high pressure briefly builds
 over the Mid- Atlantic states. Winds will quickly shift to north
 on Thursday night and then northeast by early Friday before speeds
 gradually diminish on Friday afternoon and evening.
