For more information please see details issued by the National Hurricane Center. Otherwise, high pressure will persist east of the waters with a ridge extending westward over most of the waters tonight into Sunday. The ridge will gradually shift eastward later Sunday and Sunday night as a cold front approaches the northern Mid- Atlantic coast. The cold front will move offshore and cross the northern waters Monday, and then clear east of the northern waters Monday night as the front crosses the central waters. The front will likely stall and weaken from the South Carolina coast eastward Tuesday and Tuesday night as weak high pressure forms north of the front. The front will return north as a warm front Wednesday as the high shifts east of the northern waters. The warm front will lift north of the area Wednesday night as another cold front approaches the coast from the west. $$ ANZ820-230245- Hudson Canyon to Baltimore Canyon to 1000 FM- 1050 PM EDT Fri Jun 21 2024 .TONIGHT...SW winds 10 to 15 kt.
