Synopsis: A surface ridge will remain near or just north of the islands through the weekend. This will keep light to moderate east-southeast winds with diurnal land and sea breezes in place through the next few days. A developing surface low and front far northwest of the islands is expected to strengthen this weekend and move east, and is expected to bring more southerly winds by Monday. Model discrepancies exist regarding the strength of the southerly winds due to the strength and position of the low.
North and East Shores: East to southeast winds
