.SYNOPSIS...High pressure remains anchored across most of the
waters this morning, while a stationary front persists across the
far N portions generally along 40N. Further S, a stationary front
persists well S of the area along 28N, but continues forcing
fresh to strong easterlies across the far S portions between 31N
and 34N. The stationary front over the N portions lifts N of the
area today, while the front S of the waters gradually weakens
later today and tonight, allowing the high pressure to expand
over the remainder of the area. The high shifts E tonight into
Thu, maintaining a ridge across the S and central portions Fri
through Sun night. A cold front approaches the coast Thu, then
moves into the N portions Thu night. The front continues S to
near the Virginia Capes Fri, stalls Fri night into Sat, then
returns N as a warm front Sat night into Sun. Another cold front
approaches from the NW later Sun and Sun night.
