Atlantic Canada, as high pressure will be located over the S

N Sat night while a cold front approaches from the NW. The cold
front should sweep quickly E over the N waters by Sun afternoon
and through the S waters overnight Sun and into Mon. While high
pressure will then build over the S waters, around persistent,
broad low pressure over SE Canada, another series of surface
troughs will pass from NW to SE over the N waters Mon through Tue
night. High pressure then gradually builds E over most of the
waters Wed and Wed night. However, a surface front may develop
off of the Carolina coast late Tue night with weak low pressure
possibly moving E along the front and off of the coast Wed night.
