.SYNOPSIS...A cold front will clear E of the waters today, then
stall S of the waters tonight through Fri night. Weak low
pressure will form along the stalled boundary Thu, then track E
along the front Thu night through Fri night while passing along
or just S of the area. High pressure will build N of the waters
behind the front late today into tonight, then shift NE Thu while
maintaining a ridge over the waters Thu through Fri. The ridge
will dissipate late Fri into Fri night, allowing the stationary
front to lift back N across the waters as a warm front Sat and
Sat night. A strong cold front will slowly approach the coast Sun
and Sun night.
