occasionally forming along the frontal boundary. High pressure
will build S into the far N waters by tonight, then prevail over
the far northern portions into next week. A stronger high will
build N of the area Tue night into Wed night. All mariners should
use caution in or near any of the heavier thunderstorms which
will likely persist mainly near and S of the cold front today
