.SYNOPSIS...Low pressure centered about 90 nm SW of Pigeon Point
drifts SE and dissipates tonight. High pressure builds E into the
waters late tonight, shifts more to the S portions Thu, then
retreats W of the area Thu night. A cold front moves across the N
portions late tonight into Thu, crosses the central and S
portions Thu night and Fri, and then clears well S of the area by
Fri night. High pressure rebuilds E behind the cold front Fri
into Sat, then weakens Sat night. Another cold front moves into
the N portion Sat night, then slowly crosses the remainder of the
waters Sun through Mon night. Behind this cold front, stronger
high pressure again builds E into the waters.
