waters tonight into Sun behind the low before another low and
cold front push offshore from the Mid-Atlantic coast Sun and Sun
night. The front will clear E of the area Sun night as high
pressure builds in across the area Sun night into Mon. The high
will drift E across the waters Mon night and will shift E of the
area Tue ahead of the next approaching cold front. Broad low
