The low will rapidly exit NE of the region Wed before high pressure quickly moves across the waters late Wed into Wed night. Yet another strong cold front will move SE across the area Thu before exiting to the E and SE Thu night. High pressure will build E over the waters Fri into Fri night. Mariners should monitor the latest forecasts for the intensifying low pressure system set to impact the region Tue into Wed, and begin to strongly consider avoidance routing at this time.
