SE across the N and central waters Sun night through Mon, then
stall over the S waters Mon night as high pressure builds into
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
