Strong high pressure is centered across the Canadian Maritimes,
however it extends southwestward across our area. This will
remain in place through tonight. Meanwhile, low pressure
continues to meander around well offshore. A cold front is
forecast to cross our region Tuesday night, then it becomes
nearly stationary along the coast. Low pressure tracks northward
along this front Thursday and Thursday night before moving out
