.SYNOPSIS FOR THE COASTAL WATERS FROM SANDY HOOK NJ TO FENWICK
ISLAND DE AND FOR DELAWARE BAY...
High pressure will build across eastern Canada and far northern New
England today through Monday, extending into the Mid-Atlantic
region. Meanwhile, an area of low pressure strengthens well offshore
of the East Coast. An approaching front looks to arrive from the
west around midweek with the potential for a coastal low to develop
along it and track northward along the coast by Thursday into
Friday. High pressure may briefly return late Friday before a warm
front lifts northward toward the area next Saturday.
