.SYNOPSIS...A series of weak low pressure troughs will meander
across the central and S portions tonight. High pressure over the
N waters will shift E tonight into early Thu as a cold front
approaches from the NW. The front will move slowly S into the far
N portions by later Thu, then stall Thu night. Low pressure will
develop along the stalled boundary late Thu night into early Fri,
just off the Mid-Atlantic coast, then track E and NE along the
front late Fri and Fri night. The low will move E of the region
Sat, pulling the cold front slightly further S later Sat, before
stalling again across the central and S areas Sat night. High
pressure will build across the far N portions Sun and Sun night,
while a series of lows develop over the S and central waters
along the front. The front will drift N Mon and Mon night, as
weak lows continue to move along the front.
