Strong high pressure is centered across the Canadian Maritimes,
however it extends southwestward across our area. This will
generally remain in place into Tuesday night. 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 to sea on
Friday. A weak clipper system may move through on Saturday.
