the northern waters Sat. Low pressure and a cold front will
develop over the northern and central waters Sat, then quickly
clear E of the waters later Sat night. Meanwhile, just to the S

a cold front SE across the waters through Sat night. Yet another
low will develop just S of the waters Sun, then quickly move E
and NE across the waters Sun night and Mon. Another low will move

cold front across the waters through early Mon night. High
