30 KNOTS IS POSSIBLE PRIOR TO SUNSET. THEREAFTER...GUSTS WILL
DIMINISH SOMEWHAT...BUT WINDS WILL REMAIN ELEVATED THROUGH THE
OVERNIGHT PERIOD. IN ADDITION...SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS AHEAD OF
THE FRONT WILL LIKELY IMPACT THE TERMINALS ROUGHLY AROUND 21Z/22Z.
ISOLATED CONVECTION COULD DEVELOP PRIOR TO THIS TIME FRAME...BUT
DUE TO LACK OF EXPECTED COVERAGE...WILL EXCLUDE AN MENTION OF TS
PRIOR TO 21Z.

THE FRONT WILL PASS OVER THE AREA SEVERAL HOURS AFTER SUNSET WITH
MODELS SHOWING POST-FRONTAL SHOWERS LINGERING UNTIL POSSIBLY
DAYBREAK. IN ADDITION...WINDS WILL SHIFT WESTERLY AFTER THE
PASSAGE OF THE FRONT...THEN CONTINUE TO VEER MORE NORTHERLY AROUND SUNRISE.

FOLLOWING THE PASSAGE OF THE COLD FRONT AFTER MIDNIGHT. SMALL CRAFT
ADVISORIES ARE IN EFFECT THROUGH MID-EVENING FOR CHARLESTON HARBOR
AND AMZ354 AND THROUGH THE NIGHT FOR ALL OTHER COASTAL WATERS.

SATURDAY...NW WNDS WL GRADLY VEER NE THROUGH THE DAY AS THE CDFNT
SHIFTS FARTHER OFFSHORE AND INLAND HIGH PRES BEGINS TO WEDGE S.
WINDS WILL INCREASE TO 15-20 KT NEARSHORE WATERS AND 20-25 KT
OFFSHORE WATERS. WL LIKELY NEED A SMALL CRAFT ADV FOR AT LEAST THE
GEORGIA OFFSHORE WATERS SAT NGT.

SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT...ESPECIALLY NASTY AND
POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS CONDITIONS WILL DEVELOP OVER THE WATERS DURING
THIS TIME AS THE PRES GRADIENT TIGHTENS BTWN INLAND HIGH PRES AND A
STRONG/SHARP COASTAL TROUGH JUST OFFSHORE. WNDS WILL EASILY REACH
WELL INTO THE 25-30 KT RANGE WITH GUSTS EXCEEDING GALE FORCE OF
35-40 KT. IF TRENDS CONTINUE...A GALE WATCH WILL BE NEEDED FOR MOST
MARINE ZONES IN LATER FORECASTS. LOCAL SWAN MODEL SUGGESTS SEAS WILL
PEAK 7-11 FT NEARSHORE WATERS AND 11-15 FT OFFSHORE WATERS SUN INTO
SUN EVNG.

A MODERATE RISK FOR RIP CURRENTS WILL PERSIST INTO EARLY EVENING.
OFFSHORE WINDS TURNING SLOWLY NORTHEAST WILL LIMIT THE RIP RISK FOR
TOMORROW SO WILL FORECAST A LOW CATEGORY.

THE RIP CURRENT RISK WILL BECOME ENHANCED SUNDAY INTO MONDAY AS
STRONG NORTHEAST WINDS COUPLED WITH BUILDING SEAS IMPACT THE SURF
ZONE.
