pressure along the front just W of the central waters. The

pressure will build E into the central waters Tue and Tue night
as a cold front moves SE into the NW waters. The ridge will shift
S of the area Wed and Wed night as the cold front continues
moving E and SE across the waters. Another cold front or low
pressure trough will develop just to the W Tue night, then move
SE across the central and southern waters Wed through Thu night.
A warm front will approach the northern and central waters Thu
and move across the region Thu night. A cold front will follow,
and move across the northern and central waters Fri and Fri night
