A strong frontal boundary will yield widespread gales with 20-40% chances of isolated storm-force wind gusts within 20 nautical miles of the coast, and seas rising to 10 to 12 feet across the waters on Wednesday. Conditions improve Wednesday night into the weekend, but persistent seas around 10 feet may linger through at least much of Thursday.
