.SYNOPSIS...High pressure will move NE across the N and central
waters tonight, then persist across the area Sat. The high will
shift E late Sat night and Sun. A warm front will develop along
the SE coast Sat night, then lift N through the central and N
waters Sun as a cold front approaches from the W. The cold front
will move SE across the N and central waters Sun night through
Mon, then stall over the S waters Mon night as high pressure
builds in across the N waters. Low pressure will develop along
the stationary front inland over the SE U.S. Mon night, with the
low intensifying while lifting NE from near the Outer Banks to
near Georges Bank Tue and Tue night. A cold front extending S
from the low will move quickly E and SE across the waters late
Tue into Tue night. High pressure will build over the waters Wed,
and then shift E of the region Wed night while weakening.
Mariners should monitor later forecasts for possible avoidance
from the intensifying low.
