central waters Sat then move NE of the northern waters Sat night.
High pressure will build over the waters Sat night into Sun

offshore from the Mid-Atlantic coast Sun and Sun night. The front
will clear E of the area late Sun night as high pressure builds
in across the area Sun night and Mon. The high will shift E of
the waters Mon night and Tue ahead of the next approaching cold
