.SYNOPSIS...

Atlantic high pressure stretching westward across the local waters
will weaken as a backdoor cold front shifts southward along the Mid
Atlantic and Carolina coast through this evening with dry conditions
under mostly cloudy skies. High pressure will build to the north
early Tuesday and shift into the Atlantic waters to the northeast
Tuesday afternoon, the more to the east on Wednesday with isolated
showers and thunderstorms and east to southeasterly winds. The high
will extend from near Bermuda into the Northeast FL waters Thursday
and then weaken and shift southward Friday into Saturday with
southwest winds turning briefly southerly each afternoon due to the
seabreeze circulation as a cold front slowly approaches from the
northwest with increasing chances for showers and thunderstorms.
