.SYNOPSIS FOR THE COASTAL WATERS FROM SANDY HOOK NJ TO FENWICK
ISLAND DE AND FOR DELAWARE BAY...
Low pressure tracks by to our north through the rest of today with
its cold front crossing our region overnight tonight. High pressure
builds in to our south Thursday as low pressure continues to depart
through Atlantic Canada. A series of weak inconsequential
disturbances move through Friday into early Saturday. A somewhat
stronger system may affect the area with some snow Saturday night
into Sunday as low pressure may form along an arctic cold front as
it moves south and eastward through the area. Arctic high pressure
will then dominate our weather to start next week.
