.SYNOPSIS...High pressure across the area will shift E and NE
today. A warm front will develop along the SE coast early today,
then lift N through the central and N waters late Sun as a cold
front approaches from the W. The cold front will move SE across
the N and central waters Sun night through Mon, then stall over
the S waters Mon night as high pressure builds in across the N
waters. Low pressure will develop along the stationary front
inland over the SE U.S. Mon night, with the low intensifying
while lifting NE from near the Outer Banks to near Georges Bank
Tue and Tue night. A cold front extending S from the low will
move quickly E and SE across the waters late Tue into Tue night.
High pressure will build over the waters Wed, and persist Wed
night. Yet another cold front will move across the N and central
portions late Thu before stalling across the S waters Thu night.
Mariners should monitor later forecasts for possible avoidance
from the intensifying low.
