Locally heavy thunderstorms are possible near the low and along and S of the front over the waters today, with the heavier thunderstorms likely producing gusty winds and rough seas, and mariners should use caution. Otherwise, the front will lift back N of the area as a warm front Sat and Sat night. A strong cold front will slowly approach the coast from the W Sun into Sun night, then move E across the waters later Sun night, Mon into Mon night as a series of low pressure areas form along the front. A stronger low pressure area will develop along the front E of the waters by Tue, then drift S or SW while remaining E and then SE of the area into Tue night. Behind the cold front, high pressure will slowly build E off the coast Tue and Tue night.
