.SYNOPSIS...A small, well-defined, low pressure area located just
off the Georgia coast early tonight will likely move inland later
tonight, with chances for the system becoming a tropical
depression decreasing. 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.
