KEY MESSAGES

- A moderate to strong offshore flow may return this coming weekend for most of the marine waters in the wake of a cold front.

DISCUSSION

Issued at 240 PM CDT Mon Mar 23 2026

A shortwave progressing off the Mid-Atlantic coast will send a weak cold front through the area this evening. The lack of significant deep layer moisture will keep conditions dry across the area. Another shortwave will move through the northwest flow Tuesday night, however moisture levels remain meager. Can't completely rule out a few isolated showers, however most areas will remain dry. The area will remain under a northwest to northerly mid and upper level flow pattern through the end of the week as the area remains on the eastern side of a large ridge over the southwestern states. Another dry cold front moves through the area early this weekend with another shot of dry and cooler air. Highs on Tuesday and Wednesday will be in the mid/upper 70s to around 80 warming into the low to mid 80s Thursday and Friday. Highs cool into the low to mid 70s Saturday and Sunday behind the front. /13

MARINE

Issued at 240 PM CDT Mon Mar 23 2026
