SYNOPSIS
Strong high pressure will remain anchored west of the area today while a coastal trough persists. The high will weaken and slide S to the W of the central and southern waters tonight into Thu as a cold front approaches from the NW. The cold front will move across the northern waters Thu night and through the central and southern waters Fri into early Sat as low pressure forms W of the waters on Fri. The front will move S of the area later Sat, while the area of low pressure drifts SE to the W of the waters. Meanwhile high pressure will build across the region behind the front Sat night, then persist through Sun night.
