A surface low pressure system is forecast to emerge along the northern portion of the trough axis later tonight or on Friday, and some subsequent development could occur through Saturday. By late Saturday, upper-level winds are forecast to become less conducive for development, and the low is expected to begin interacting with an approaching frontal system.
