continue moving away from the region Wed. High pressure will move
into the southern waters Wed. A cold front will move SE into the
northern waters Wed, then stall across the northern portions Wed
night through Fri night as high pressure slides E across the
southern waters. The stationary front over the northern waters
will lift N as a warm front late Fri night into Sat and move N of
the area by Sat night, as high pressure expands into the central
and northern waters.
