front will move S through the N waters late Fri into Fri night.

The front will stall across the central waters Sat and Sat night,

then dissipate Sun. Meanwhile, another high will build over the N

waters Sat behind the cold front. That high will shift E Sat

night, followed by a new warm front moving E into the N waters

Sun. Another cold front will reach the N waters late Sun night

while weak ridging builds over the S waters.
