northern portions Fri night into Sat. Meanwhile, high pressure
over the central and S waters will gradually shift S and E Fri
night through Sat night as a cold front moves offshore and across
the region. Yet another warm front will clip the N portions Sun

coast. The cold front will sweep SE across the region late Mon
through Mon night. High pressure will begin to build across the
