into early Sun. A warm front will develop along the SE U.S.
coast tonight, quickly lifting N away from the area Sun, with
high pressure returning to the waters through Sun night. A cold
front will move SE into the area Mon, then stall along the SE
coast Mon night. Low pressure will develop along the stalled
front inland over the SE U.S. Mon night, then lift NE along the
front, passing just NW of the waters Tue while intensifying. A
cold front extending from the system will sweep SE across the
waters 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 depending on voyage plans.
