With a stalled out front to our south for the weekend, weather will be unsetlled with chances of rain both days.  These chances will be low in the 20%-40% range and be mainly scattered or isolated showers.  High temperatures will be in the upper 60's to low 70's with lows only into the mid 50's overnight.  Water conditions will be good for Saturday and cautious on Sunday for all locations.  Saturday Night will start with gustier winds due to a tight pressure gradient due to high pressure off of the northeast coast.  Winds could peak at greater than 25 knots out of the ESE eventually building seas to 7+ feet at 7 seconds.  Saturday Night will likely start Small Craft Advisories through Tuesday.  Water temperatures are about the same with bays and rivers in the lower 60's, inshore ocean waters in the mid to upper 50's and Midshore to Offshore hitting the mid 50 degree mark the last couple of days.  Surf conditions will be normal on Saturday in the 1-2 feet with slight easterly wind and moderate on Sunday in the 4-6 foot range with a 25+ knot easterly wind. 

The upcoming week looks like it will be more cloudy and rainy than sunny.  Through Friday, there are chances of rain/showers/thunderstorms.  Temperatures will be seasonable in the 70's with lows only into the 50's.  Small Craft Advisories are likely through Tuesday, maybe even into Wednesday.

The cold front moved through the area on Thursday Night will stall to the south of the area through the weekend.
