coast later tonight and Fri while pulling a cold front offshore.
The low will pass E of the area Fri night before the cold front
stalls over the S portion Sat and Sat night. The front will then
pass E and SE of the waters Sun. A series of low pressure troughs
will move SE over the N portion Sat into Mon. High pressure will
build SE across the S portion Sat night and Sun, then pass SE of
the waters Sun night. A stationary front will extend E over the
central waters Sun night, before low pressure tracks E along the
boundary Mon. The low will then pass E of the area Mon night,
with the front again stalling across the central and S portions
Tue and Tue night. High pressure will build across the N portions
