.SYNOPSIS...A stationary front draped NE from Saint Simons Island

night before diminishing on Fri. Low pressure will form along the
front off the SE coast tonight and then move slowly NE along the
front, reaching 40N60W by early Thu morning. Weak high pressure
will build E across the N waters Wed night into Thu, shifting E
of the region Thu night and Fri. A cold front will approach from
the NW late Fri, then move offshore Fri night. The front will
become stationary across the central waters Sat and Sat night as
