subtropical or tropical depression or storm will form by early
next week before moving inland Tue or Tue night. All marine
interests should closely monitor the latest forecast and
additional information issued by the National Hurricane Center
over the next day or two. Otherwise, high pressure will persist N

Tue night through Wed night. A weak cold front will drift just
offshore over the northern waters later Wed and Wed night, and
then stall across the northern waters Thu and Thu night.
