Fri as a cold front approaches the waters from the W. The
slow-moving cold front should weaken as it moves E across the
waters Fri before dissipating Fri night, with the warm front
passing off to the NE. Another cold front approaches the N waters
from the W Sat, moves into the N and central waters Sat night and
early Sun, and finally reaches the S waters late Sun and Sun
night before dissipating. High pressure builds into the NW waters
from the W behind the front. A stationary boundary will form and
extend across the waters Sat or Sat night, then remain in place
