.SYNOPSIS...A stationary front will remain in place across the
waters tonight while weak low pressure tracks NE along the front
and moves away from the area. Weak high pressure will shift E
across the N waters tonight, then clear NE of the waters Thu.
Another low will form over the waters by early Thu, and then
likely strengthen while moving slowly NE over the outer waters
Thu night, and passing NE away from the area Fri into Sat. A cold
front will approach from the NW late Fri and Fri night, with the
front stalling just N of the area Sat and Sat night while a low
pressure trough moves E across the waters. High pressure will
build S and SE across the area Sun and Sun night, and then will
shift E and NE of the waters Mon and Mon night while maintaining
a ridge to the N of the area.
