.SYNOPSIS FOR THE COASTAL WATERS FROM SANDY HOOK NJ TO FENWICK
ISLAND DE AND FOR DELAWARE BAY...
High pressure will depart by tonight. This will allow a warm
front, associated with a clipper system moving into the Great
Lakes, to lift into the region. This clipper system will pass
north of the region on Sunday, dragging a cold front across our
area. High pressure will then build down into the Plains on
Monday, and pass off the Mid-Atlantic coast on Tuesday. Weak low
pressure will affect the area Tuesday night into Wednesday.
Brief high pressure will return for Thursday. A cold front is
then forecast to move through the region later in the week.
