.SYNOPSIS...A high pressure ridge will persist across the N
waters tonight, then shift slowly S to the central waters during
Thu. It will persist across the central and a portion of the S
waters Thu night through Sat night while slowly weakening. A weak
tropical wave or low pressure trough will move W and pass near or
just S of the far S waters later Thu into Thu night, and then
move onshore over the SE states Fri. A cold front will approach
the N waters on Fri, then stall near 40N Fri night and Sat before
lifting slowly N away from the area as a warm front Sat night
into Sun. Another cold front will approach the N waters from the
NW Sun night into Mon, and then gradually move E and SE over the
N waters, and further S drift just off the SE coast Mon night.
