Adapt Fluent Mesh to weirOverflow tutorial

I am trying to adapt the weirOverflow tutorial case (interFoam) to a similar domain with a mesh converted from fluent. Schematic of domain is below. Case files are located here https://ufile.io/w2xaw (couldn't upload below).
When I setFields, the alpha.water looks good but the pressure field in the domain does not look good. The water depth is 0.54m (5300Pa) but the pressure upstream of the weir is 5.3e+09Pa (see image). As time progresses in the simulation, the area of high pressure shows odd results (see image). I've run checkMesh and it looks ok to me. I'm using the same boundary conditions as the weirOverflow tutorial (note that inlet_air is being modeled as a wall). If anyone has advice on how I should be troubleshooting this it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!     0/U Code:

Solver output is below when divergence starts. The time step decreases substantially and the residuals increase substantially. I think the issue is either initial conditions or solver settings since the pressure distribution isn't right from the start.
