.SYNOPSIS...A high pressure ridge will persist across the
southern waters. A stationary front will linger along the N and
central mid- Atlantic coast today with several weak low pressure
areas moving E along the frontal boundary. A slightly stronger
low will move E and NE along the front off of the Virginia Capes
by this afternoon, and move slowly E and NE over the central and
N waters tonight into Tue night, and then weaken to the E and NE
of the area by Wed. A low pressure trough will strengthen inland
and over the N and central N mid Atlantic coast Wed and Wed
night, with a warm front developing and lifting NE from the N
waters Wed night. A cold front will approach from the W and NW
Thu, and then move offshore Thu night into Fri. The cold front
will weaken and then likely stall over the central waters Fri
night as weak high pressure builds over the mid-Atlantic states
and the high pressure over southern areas persists.
