avoidance plans. High pressure will build SE to the coast Tue,

shift E of the waters Wed night. The high will maintain a ridge
across the waters through Fri while a cold front approaches and
then stalls N of the waters. The front will weaken and dissipate
N of the area Fri night. Stronger high pressure will build S
