.SYNOPSIS...A cold front near the Georgia and Carolina coasts
early this morning will drift E while weakening today into
tonight with the front dissipating by Sun. A second cold front
will approach the coast Sun morning, move slowly offshore later
Sun into Sun evening, reach the outer waters later Sun night, and
then stall over the S waters Mon. The front will remain over the
S waters Mon night as low pressure begins to organize along the
front just off the S Carolina coast. The low will continue to
organize and move slowly E and NE over the central waters Tue and
Tue night into Wed while pulling a trailing cold front E over the
S waters. The low will pass E of the central and N waters later
Wed with the trailing cold front clearing E of the area. Weak
high pressure will build over most the waters behind the low and
cold front Wed night.
