After the passing of the front, shsn possible with steep lapse
rates on Sat. The front will usher in frigid temps for the

at least 10-20 below for Sat ngt. 45-50kt winds at h85 could
produce nwly gusts around wind advy criteria on Sat as well.

guidance for the past high tide cycle or two, anticipating isolated
