formation not expected with this system. High pressure will
persist E of the waters with a ridge extending westward over most

later Sun and Sun night as a cold front approaches the northern
Mid-Atlantic coast. The cold front will move offshore and cross
the N waters Mon, and then clear E of the northern waters Mon
night as the front crosses the central waters. The front will
likely stall and weaken from the South Carolina coast eastward
Tue and Tue night as weak high pressure forms N of the front. The
front will return N as a warm front Wed as the high shifts E of

night as another cold front approaches the coast from the W.
