upper level low moves off the coast, but the chance of showers
decrease through the morning. Light to moderate northeasterly
flow will continue through the day today, becoming southerly
tonight, then southwesterly tomorrow. Southerly winds will
increase ahead of an approaching upper level trough over the
weekend, then increasing to at least caution criteria by Monday
