The current pattern with high pressure centered to the northeast,
and a trough over the coastal waters will continue through early

mid week, as the high moves away, and a cold front moves through.
High pressure is expected to build to the north, with troughing over
the waters later next week, bringing a return to the elevated
conditions.
