.SYNOPSIS FOR THE COASTAL WATERS FROM SANDY HOOK NJ TO FENWICK
ISLAND DE AND FOR DELAWARE BAY...
The quick-hitting high pressure system affecting us today 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.
