moves offshore over the northern waters. Weak high pressure will
persist over the central and S waters tonight into Sat. The front

the high retreats N to the N waters. The low will move NE and
pass E of the southern and central waters Sun night into Mon as
the high retreats N to the New England waters. A ridge associated
