the waters. Strong high pressure will gradually build NW and N of
the region Mon into Tue, and then weaken N and NW of the area
later Tue into Wed. A low pressure trough will form along the SE
coast Tue, before another developing low moves NE along the
boundary and passes N of the area Tue night. The low will
continue moving E and NE of the waters Wed into Wed night as
another high builds N of the region. Yet another developing low
will move over the area Thu, then strengthen while moving NE of
the area Thu night and pulling another cold front SE over the
