.SYNOPSIS...High pressure across the S waters will shift E of the
area today while maintaining a weak ridge across the central
waters. Meanwhile, a weak cold front will move slowly E across
the waters and then will stall across the central and southern
portions this evening. Weak low pressure will develop along the
front this evening, then will track NE along the front later
tonight into Mon. The low will move well E of the waters late
Mon. The associated stationary front will lift N across the
waters as a weakening warm front Mon night and Tue. Another cold
front will move E across the waters Tue night into Wed as
strengthening low pressure passes just E of the area. The front
will stall and dissipate Wed. High pressure will build E across
the waters late Wed into Thu as developing low pressure and a
cold front approach the coast. The low will track NE near the New
England coast late Thu and Thu night while pulling the cold front
E across the waters.
