.SYNOPSIS...High pressure will weaken across the far S portion
tonight. A cold front moving into the S waters tonight, will
stall and then slowly dissipate tonight into Sun. Another high N
of the region, will shift NE and E of the area tonight and Sun. A
warm front will extend E over the N waters early Sun, then lift N
of the region by late Sun. Another cold front will move SE into
the N waters Sun night and Mon, then stall from near the Virginia
Capes eastward Mon night through Tue night as low pressure
develops along the boundary. Low pressure or a wave of low
pressures will move slowly N along the front Wed through Thu
night. Strong high pressure will build N of the region while
interacting with the frontal boundary and low pressure over the
area to generate NE to E gales and building seas late Tue into
Thu night.
