FROM THIS EVENING THROUGH ABOUT 200 AM...WITH A DECREASING THREAT
THEREAFTER.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY.
A HIGH COVERAGE OF RAIN AND THUNDERSTORMS IS EXPECTED TUESDAY AND
WEDNESDAY AS A FRONTAL BOUNDARY PUSHES INTO THE AREA...TEMPORARILY
STALLS...THEN PUSHES SOUTH OF THE AREA BY EARLY THURSDAY. THERE WILL
BE THE POTENTIAL FOR STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS WITH HEAVY RAIN AND
STRONG WIND GUSTS...ESPECIALLY TUESDAY AFTERNOON.

INCREASED NORTH TO NORTHEAST WINDS WILL OVERSPREAD THE ATLANTIC
COASTAL WATERS BEHIND A COLD FRONT ON THURSDAY AND PRODUCE HAZARDOUS
BOATING CONDITIONS. WINDS SHOULD SUBSIDE THIS WEEKEND THOUGH SEAS
WILL RESPOND MORE SLOWLY.
