High pressure over the central and S waters will gradually
shift E Sat and Sat night. A trough will extend N to S over the
entire area Sun as a cold front approaches the waters. The
front will move E through the area Sun night through late Mon,
with high pressure building in from the NW behind the front Mon
night.
