deepening from 29.5 inches this evening over the western waters to

low will then heads towards and across new england tomorrow. a weak 
29.8 inch high will then build in across the lake friday which will 
be followed by a 29.7 inch low and cold front saturday. this low 
will steam off into quebec canada sunday while weakening to 29.9 
inches. meanwhile on sunday a coastal low off the carolina coastline 
of 29.8 inches will deepen to 29.4 inches monday as it tracks 
northeastward, albeit with still great amount of uncertainty to its
