.SYNOPSIS...A trough over the outer waters will move E of the

a slow-moving cold front near the coast moves SE into the N
portions tonight and Fri. The front will stall over the central
waters by later Fri. Another trough will develop over the far S
waters tonight, with weak low pressure forming along the trough
Fri. The front should move back N as a weak warm front Fri night
and Sat as high pressure builds over the N and central waters.
The high will persist over the N and central waters through Mon
night. Low pressure is expected to move into the far S waters
sometime between Fri and Sat, then meander over those waters into
Mon night. The low has the potential to organize into a tropical
or subtropical depression by the weekend. Please monitor the
latest information from the National Hurricane Center.
