.SYNOPSIS...A warm front should emerge off of the central waters
today under overall weak, broad high pressure. The warm front
will move N tonight while a cold front approaches from the NW.
The cold front should sweep quickly E over the N waters by Sun
afternoon and through the S waters overnight Sun and into Mon.
While high pressure will then build over the S waters, around
persistent, broad low pressure over SE Canada, another series of
surface troughs will pass from NW to SE over the N waters Mon
through Tue night. High pressure then gradually builds E over
most of the waters Wed and Wed night. However, a surface front
may develop off of the Carolina coast late Tue night with weak
low pressure possibly moving E along the front and off of the
coast Wed night. The low will move E of the area Thu and the cold
front will push S into the southern waters and stall into Thu
night.
