lift back N as a warm front later Wed into Thu night. Another
high will build just N and NE of the area Wed, and then shift NE
of the area by Wed night. A strong cold front will approach the
coast Thu, then move E across the waters Thu night into Fri
night. A secondary cold front will move offshore later Fri night
