pass E across the waters Sat night into Sun as low pressure forms

will develop along the front S of area Sun into Sun night while a
second center forms near the Gulf of Saint Lawrence. The northern
low will quickly push NE of the area Mon while high pressure
builds in behind it and reaches the coast. The southern low will
persist through Mon. The high pressure ridge will extend S and
slide E over the inner portion of the waters by Tue before
weakening, with the southern low moving SE away from the waters
and also weakening. Another low pressure system may approach from
The W and SW Tue night, and begin to push offshore Wed or Wed
night.
