.SYNOPSIS...Strengthening low pressure just E of the southern

today as high pressure builds into the northern and central
portions. The high will shift E of the area tonight, with a warm
front clipping the N waters as it lifts NE away from the area. A
strong cold front will approach the coast Wed, move E and SE
across the waters Wed night, then clear E of the area Thu. High
pressure will move E across the area Thu night into Fri, then
persist into Sat while weakening. A weak low and an associated
trough or cold front will quickly pass across the northern areas
Sat. Developing low pressure and associated warm and cold fronts
will approach the waters late Sat. The warm front will lift
across the northern waters Sat night as the developing low and
cold front approach the coast or begin to move just offshore.
