.SYNOPSIS...A warm front will slowly lift N over the N waters
today into tonight while gradually weakening, as a weak low
pressure trough over the outer waters moves E. Mariners should
use caution for locally gusty winds and rough seas in and near
scattered to numerous locally heavy tstms that will be likely
over portions of the waters today into tonight. Otherwise, weak
low pressure will move E across the N waters tonight into Fri
while slowly pulling a weak cold front over the area. The weak
low and front will pass E of the area Fri night. Another warm
front will lift N across the waters Fri night into Sat night,
before a cold front crosses the area Sat night and Sun. A series
of secondary cold fronts or low pressure troughs will move SE
over the region Sun night into Mon night.
