.DISCUSSION...
KEY MESSAGE 1...Another cold front is expected to approach the
region late this week, bringing more chances for showers and
storms. This will last at least into the first part of the
weekend.

Another cold front is expected to approach our region late in
the week bringing the potential for showers/storms as early as
very late day Thursday into Thursday night. Deep layer shear
will be fairly strong but the forcing does not look to be
terribly strong and could also be centered more north of our
area. This could limit the severe weather potential. This is
still a few days away though and things could change.

At this point it is likely that the aformentioned front with
its associated showers and potential storms is likely to linger
into Saturday keeping at least the first part of the weekend on
the unsettled side. Precipitation chances diminish by Sunday
into early next week.

before coming southwesterly around 10-15 kt for Wednesday
afternoon. Seas generally around 2-3 feet.

Rip Currents...

On Wednesday, winds will be northwest in the morning, turning
southwest around 10 mph in the afternoon. Breaking waves will be
1 to 2 feet with a low to medium period southeast swell. As a
result, there is a LOW risk for the development of rip currents
for the Jersey Shore and Delaware Beaches.

On Thursday, similar surf conditions are expected with southerly
winds increasing to near 10-15 mph. This will continue the LOW
risk for the development of rip currents for the Jersey Shore
and Delaware Beaches.
