SYNOPSIS

Winds will remain out of the southeast around 5 to 10 knot for the rest of the weekend. The main concern for boaters this weekend will be sea fog that could start Sunday afternoon and linger through the early morning hours on Monday. Winds will shift more northerly starting on Monday which should help to dissipate any sea fog that is lingering across the waters. By Wednesday winds will shift southerly again ahead of our next cold front. &&

PERIOD FORECAST
THIS AFTERNOON

South winds 5 to 10 knots, becoming southwest late. Bay and inland waters light chop. A slight chance of showers and thunderstorms late.

TONIGHT

North winds around 5 knots, becoming east after midnight. Bay and inland waters smooth. A chance of showers in the evening.

SUNDAY

Southeast winds around 5 knots, becoming west in the afternoon. Bay and inland waters light chop.
