SYNOPSIS

A cold front will approach the NW waters tonight, move slowly SE across the N waters Mon and Mon night, the central waters Tue and Tue night, and will stall and dissipate as it moves into the S waters Wed. A second cold front will move SE across the northern and central waters Wed and Wed night, then weaken as it moves into the southern waters Thu and Thu night. A high pressure ridge will build across the NW waters Thu night through Fri night, as a low pressure trough develops along the coast.
