Weather Situation

A high pressure system over the state is slowly moving eastwards while extending a ridge across the state's north. A series of troughs are forecast to brush the state's south over the next few days, bringing fresh west to northwesterly winds over the southern coastal waters, with a stronger tough forecast late Thursday through Friday expected to bring a fresh, gusty southerly wind change in its wake. This system will be followed by another high pressure ridge drifting across the state, directing a fresh to strong northerly airstream over the southern and central coastal waters during the weekend through early next week.
