.SYNOPSIS...Weak low pressure, and a warm front offshore of the
mid-Atlantic coast, will move N tonight and pass N of the area
late tonight and early Mon. A cold front follows the low E across
the area from late tonight through early Mon night, with a
second, stronger cold front moving over the area from late Mon
through early Tue. The strong front will stall just S of the
waters Tue. With the front stalled just to the S, for Tue and Tue
night, surface troughs will move SE over the N waters with high
pressure building E over the central waters. The high builds N by
Wed, then shifts E Wed night. A warm front will move just N of
the area Wed, with the front to the S slowly returning N as a
warm front as well. As the warm front moves into the S waters, a
cold front approaches the N waters Thu and moves slowly E over
the area Thu night through Fri night, stalling over the S waters.
High pressure builds into the area behind the cold front, though
a secondary cold front should approach the N waters Fri night.
