First Alert Forecast: Gusty trades start the work week

There’s a First Alert for lighter winds and a possible weak front that could impact our weather starting Thursday into the weekend. The gusty trades may ease up and come from the southeast as a low pressure area drops in from the northwest. If the low moves far enough south, it could push a front through the state Sunday into Monday. Still too early to tell for sure, but we’ll keep you posted.

In surf, a north-northwest swell and a small overlapping swell from the west-northwest are both on the way down. Surf on south shores will decline below average Monday and remain small through most of the week. Rough surf generated by the trade winds will continue through midweek for east shores, then decline as the trades ease later in the week.
