develop W of the waters Sat, and will move E into the northern
waters Sat night into Sun before weakening into a trough Sun
night. The low will drag a weak cold front across the central and

surface trough will extend S from broad low pressure N of the
area and move E across the northern waters Mon through Tue. The
low will dissipate late Tue into Tue night as ridging builds
