.SYNOPSIS...The west part of high pressure will remain 
persistent over the waters early tonight. A weak cold front 
approaches the far NW waters overnight, shifting slightly S Sat

weak front should linger over or near the N waters through Mon 
as other weak lows move along the front. The front should lift N 
of the area Mon night as a warm front. Behind the front, the W
