.MARINE... Light winds become northeast by late evening, then west to northwest by Monday morning. A cold front will cross by late Monday afternoon kicking up winds out of the northwest. A brief period of sporadic gusts 30-35 knots can't be ruled out immediately behind the front with forecast soundings indicating such winds around 1500 feet above the surface with a very shallow stable layer and notable pressure rises in the evening. Some of these stronger gusts may linger over the wider waters overnight. Residual SCA caliber northwesterlies are expected through midday Tuesday, possibly a bit longer. Lighter winds are expected Tuesday night as high pressure builds. Southerly flow ahead of an approaching cold front Wednesday could result in gusts of 15-20 knots. The cold front should come through mainly dry Wednesday night, turning winds to the northwest. Speeds will increase with gusts of 20-30 knots possible through Thursday, diminishing Thursday night. There is an outside chance of gale conditions late Wednesday night into Thursday if the front comes through a bit stronger. Winds turn southerly Friday. Update as of: 840 PM EST Sun Nov 2 2025
