A frontal boundary south of the waters will move back north late
tonight into Friday morning. Meanwhile, strong low pressure over
the Great Lakes will move northeast into northern New England by
Friday evening. The associated cold front will pass across the
waters Friday Night, with strong high pressure building across the
Great Lakes into the Middle Atlantic by Sunday. There is lower
confidence that an area of low pressure could develop along the
cold front and linger off the southeast coast Sunday into Monday.
