.SYNOPSIS...A stationary front positioned S of the area will
persist through Fri. The western portion of the front will slowly
lift N as a warm front Fri night into Sun night. Weak high
pressure across the central waters today will shift E away from
the area tonight. A cold front will approach the N and central
waters into the afternoon, then slowly move E and SE over those
waters later today and tonight, clearing E of the area Fri. High
pressure will build E into the central and N waters behind the
front Fri, then slowly drift E across those waters Fri night into
Sat night. A weak cold front or low pressure trough will clip the
far N waters Fri night. Yet another cold front will approach the
coast Sun before moving just offshore early Sun night as low
pressure develops over the far NW portion of the waters. The low
pressure area will track E and NE and pass just N of the waters
later Sun night and Mon while pulling the trailing cold front E
over the area. The low and cold front will clear E of the waters
Mon night as high pressure builds over the SE states.
