will remain over the area tonight into Sat night. A stationary
front just S of the waters will persist tonight. An area of low
pressure along the front will quickly move SE of the area later

evening and then move offshore tonight, remaining S of the region
while moving NE through Sat. The low will move well NE of the
area Sat night into Sun. Weak high pressure will build in across
New England late Sun, then build to the coast Sun night and Mon.
The high will shift E of the area Mon night into Tue night ahead
