.SYNOPSIS...High pressure over the N and central waters will
weaken tonight. A stationary front over the northern waters will
begin to retreat N-NE tonight as a warm front. A strong, complex
low pressure system will pass by to the NW of the waters Wed and
Wed night, dragging a strong cold front E across the waters. The
front will reach the southern waters Thu and pass SE of the
waters Thu night. Meanwhile, over the southern waters, weak high
pressure will drift back E over the southern waters tonight
through Wed night, eventually moving SE of the area Thu.
Thereafter, high pressure will build in from the W Thu night
through Fri night. A weak warm front will cross the northern
waters late Thu night into Fri night. High pressure will then
weaken W of the waters Sat and Sat night as a cold front
approaches from the NW Sat night. The cold front will move SE
across the N and central waters Sun and Sun night, with high
pressure rebuilding over the area behind the front.
