Winds will subside a bit overnight, but will remain around 15 knots across most of the open waters with occasional gusts to around 20 knots. Conditions will improve during the day today into the middle of the week as the area remains under the southeast flank of surface high pressure. Hazardous conditions are likely to return Thursday or Thursday night behind a cold front.
