SYNOPSIS:
A relaxed pressure gradient continues to weaken the Atlantic high-pressure ridge, resulting in decreasing winds. A dry and stable atmosphere exists across the region. However, cloudy periods and passing showers are expected as low-level clouds are transported across the local area.
Moderate marine conditions can be expected during this forecast period with swells up to 7 feet. Small craft operators and sea bathers should continue to exercise caution as long period swells are predicted to invade Atlantic waters over the next several days. A high surf advisory may be issued the latter part of Tuesday.
STATE OF THE SEA: Moderate WAVES/SWELLS: 6 to 7 feet
SPECIAL FEATURES: None.
