The low will lift a warm front N the northern portion today and

Mid-Atlantic offshore areas. The complex low pressure system will
move slowly across the New England waters today into Sat, and
then move well NE of the region Sat night into Sun. A series of
secondary cold fronts or low pressure troughs will move E and SE
over the region Thu night into Sat night as high pressure slowly
builds E towards the area. The high will then gradually move
offshore Sun and Sun night, then pass E of the region Mon and Mon
night as another cold front approaches the area from the W.
