with a trailing cold front reaching the central waters by later
Tue as the low moves off to the E of the N waters. The front will
stall over the central waters Tue night, and return N as a warm
front Wed as another low moves E over southern New England. Weak
low pressure will slide E and pass just N of the region Wed
night. A stronger low will move E and move from Ohio into
Pennsylvania Thu, with a warm front extending E near 40N. The low
will track NE and pass N of the waters Thu night into Fri while
