of low pressure troughs or cold fronts across the waters. A
strong high pressure ridge will build E toward the region Mon and
Mon night, move offshore Tue, and then drift N Tue night and Wed.
Another low will develop and pass S of the waters Tue night, then
strengthen to the SE and E of the waters Wed before moving well
