.SYNOPSIS...A stationary front extending E over the waters from
near Cape Fear this evening will persist into Sun, and then
return N as a weak warm front Sun night into Mon. Meanwhile, high
pressure builds SE across the waters behind the front tonight,
then shifts E Sun and Sun night. Low pressure moves to near Long
Island late Sun night, then tracks slowly E across waters just N
of the area Mon into Tue, before clearing NE of the area Tue
night into Wed. The low pulls a cold front across the N portions
Mon and Mon night, with the front stalling over the central
waters Tue through Wed night while slowly weakening. The front
will slowly return N as a weak warm front Thu, reaching the N
waters Thu night.
