nearly stationary today and tonight over the N waters off of S
New England and the N Delmarva peninsula. The front nudges
slightly SW Wed. Retreating high pressure NE of the front Wed
night and Thu will allow the front to gradually move N as a warm
front, with the front moving N of the area Thu night. A cold
front approaches the N waters from the NW Thu night, moves S
through the N and central waters Fri through Fri night, and then
slowly moves farther S to off of the SE U.S. coast Sat and Sat
night. To the N, a secondary cold front may move through N waters
overnight Fri and early Sat, with high pressure then building SE
Sat night.
