.SYNOPSIS FOR THE COASTAL WATERS FROM SANDY HOOK NJ TO FENWICK
ISLAND DE AND FOR DELAWARE BAY...
A slow moving cold front will approach our region from the west
as a wave of low pressure tracks northeastward off the coast
today, resulting in a period of unsettled weather. Weak high
pressure will begin to build in on Friday. A weak clipper
system may move through on Saturday, otherwise fairly quiet and
seasonable conditions will prevail over the weekend. Another
period of rainy weather is expected early next week as low
pressure tracks toward our region from the Ohio Valley.
