as low pressure to the E of the N waters moves off to the NE of
the area. The front will likely stall and then persist from just
off the S Carolina and Georgia coasts northeastward Sat through
Wed night, as a series low pressure areas develop and track NE
along the frontal boundary. High pressure will build S into the
far N waters Sat, then prevail over the northern portions into
next week.  All mariners should use caution in or near any of the
heavier thunderstorms which will likely increase mainly near and
S of the cold front tonight into most of the weekend.
