The low will continue to strengthen while tracking E over the central and northern waters Mon night, with a trailing cold front moving SE from the central into the southern waters. The front will stall just S of the southern waters Tue into Tue night as weak high pressure builds to the N of the front. Weak low pressure will form along the front Tue night just S of the waters, with the low passing E and SE of the region during Wed. High pressure will briefly build E and SE over the waters Wed into Wed night as another cold front approaches from the NW. The weakening cold front will move SE across the waters Thu followed by strong high pressure building E and SE over the region Thu night.
