.SYNOPSIS...A low pressure trough will move SE over the S waters
early today as a strong cold front approaches from the NW. The
strong cold front will move rather quickly SE over the N and
central waters today, and then reach the S waters and begin to
slow tonight as low pressure develops near the coast. The low
will drift SE near the coast Mon as the front crosses the
remainder of the S waters. High pressure will build to the W of
the area Mon night into Tue as a weakening low lingers near the
coast. The high will build over the N waters late Tue into Tue
night as the low passes just E and SE of the S waters. The high
will dissipate early Wed as another strong cold front approaches
from the W and NW. The strong cold front will move E and SE over
the N waters late Wed, cross the central waters Wed night, and
reach the S waters early Thu. The front will pass SE of the S
waters late Thu as high pressure builds to the W of the area. The
high will remain centered to the W of the region Thu night as a
low pressure trough forms near the coast. A series of secondary
cold front or low pressure troughs will cross the N waters Thu
into Thu night.
