weaken today. A cold front will approach the coast tonight, then 

slowly move SE into the waters Thu and Thu night as developing 

low pressure tracks N and NE along the front. As the trailing 

cold front moves S it will stall across the far S waters late Fri

through Sat. High pressure will build offshore across the waters

N of the stalled front Fri into Sat, then clear E of the area 

later Sat. The stalled front will lift N across the area Sat, 

clearing N of the area Sat night. A ridge of high pressure will 

briefly build across the waters from the E Sat night and Sun, 

then weaken Sun night ahead of a cold front approaching the 

coast.
