.SYNOPSIS...A surface trough develops over the N waters tonight
behind a front that will stall over the S waters. Low pressure
will move E along the front overnight. The trough diminishes over
the N waters Sun as high pressure builds in, while to the S, the
low will continue to slowly move E along the front, farther
offshore. The low then slowly moves NE Sun night and Mon,
reaching the NE waters by early Tue. This low moves well NE of
the NE waters Tue night. The low will be followed by a series of
weak lows that develop along the meandering front and also move
NE through Wed. With high pressure returning over the N waters by
Wed, the front to the S should start to move N as a warm front
Wed night. The high over the N waters shifts E on Thu. The front
then moves slowly N over the area Thu and Thu night attached to
low pressure moving N along and near the east coast.
