build N today, then shift NE tonight. Yet another cold front will
approach the N waters Thu, then slowly move E over the area Thu
night through Fri night. High pressure will build across the
region behind the front Fri, then slowly drift E across the area
through Sun. A weak cold front or low pressure trough will clip
the far N waters Fri night. Yet another cold front will approach
