to move slowly E and NE over the central and N waters tonight

Wed. A low pressure trough will strengthen along the 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 front will
weaken and then likely stall over the central or S waters Fri
night as high pressure builds over the mid-Atlantic states.
