.SYNOPSIS...Strengthening low pressure over the N waters this

will move E along the stalled boundary over the central waters
tonight into Sun night. The front will drift N as a warm front
Sun night as another low develops along the Mid-Atlantic coast.
This next low will track E and NE over the far NW waters Mon
before weakening NE of the area Mon night. Mariners should use
caution for locally gusty winds and rough seas in and near
scattered to numerous thunderstorms likely over parts of the area
into early next week. Yet another low will approach the NW waters
early Tue, and pass N and then NE of the area late Tue into Tue
night while pulling a cold front over the NW and N waters. High
pressure will build E towards the region Wed and Wed night.
