.SYNOPSIS...Weak low pressure, and a warm front across the waters
will pass N of the area early today. A cold front follows the low
E across the area early tonight, with a second, stronger cold
front moving over the area from late today through early Tue. The
strong front will stall just S of the waters Tue. With the front
stalled just to the S, for Tue and Tue night, surface troughs
will move SE over the N waters with high pressure building E over
the central waters. The high builds N by Wed, then shifts E Wed
night. A warm front will move just N of the area Wed, with the
front to the S slowly returning N as a warm front as well. As the
warm front moves into the S waters, a cold front approaches the N
waters Thu and moves slowly E over the area Thu night through Fri
night, stalling over the S waters. High pressure builds into the
area behind the cold front, though a secondary cold front should
approach the N waters Fri night.
