.SYNOPSIS...A stationary front draped across the northern half of

the waters will persist tonight. It will then lift N as a warm

front Thu as low pressure develops just W of the northern waters.

As that low moves quickly N away from the area, a cold front

extending S from the low will move SE across the northern and

central waters Thu night and Fri, reaching the southern waters

Fri night. On Sat, a new weaker area of low pressure will develop

W of the waters. It will move E into the northern waters Sat

night into Sun before weakening into a trough Sun night. The low

will drag a cold front across the central and southern waters Sun

night through Mon night. An additional weak and broad area of

troughing will extend S from broad low pressure N of the area and

will move E across the northern waters Mon and Mon night.
