clearing E and S of the waters early Sun. Strong high pressure
will build to the NW, then N of the region Sun into Tue, before
shifting off to the NE by late Tue. A low pressure trough or
stationary front will likely form along the SE coast by Mon,
persist into early Tue, and then weaken late Tue into Tue night.
A warm front will develop and lift N from the N waters Tue night.
Another cold front will move offshore Wed, then stall over the
central portions Wed night.
