.SYNOPSIS...High pressure will build E over the waters today,
continuing through early Sat night, and then shifting E and NE
late Sat night and early Sun. A warm front will develop along
the SE U.S. coast Sat night, quickly lifting N away from the area
Sun, with high pressure returning to the waters through Sun
night. Another 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. Mariners should monitor later
forecasts for possible avoidance from the intensifying low
depending on voyage plans.
