Otherwise, weak high pressure will spread over most of the N and

gradually lift N as a warm front Sat through Sun, eventually 
moving N of the waters Sun night. Otherwise, high pressure will 
settle E of the area Sat through Mon. A cold front approaches the
far NW waters Mon night, with the front likely stalling N of the
waters Tue and Tue night while weakening as high pressure 
prevails to the E of the area. The high will build slightly to 
the W toward the area Wed and Wed night as the next weak cold 
front approaches from the NW.
