.SYNOPSIS...High pressure centered just W of Bermuda will remain
nearly stationary tonight while maintaining a ridge across the
southern waters. The ridge will shift S and SE of the area later
tonight and Sun. Meanwhile, a warm front extending E and SE
across the waters from near Delaware Bay will lift slowly N
tonight. A cold front will move SE into the northern waters Sun
into Sun night, then will slow and stall late Sun night, Mon and
Mon night, extending from SW to NE across the area. A series of
low pressure centers will track NE along the stalled front during
this time frame. The front will finally move E of the waters Tue.
A secondary cold front will move E across the N waters Tue and
Tue night, while high pressure builds E to the coast. The high
will cross the waters Wed and Wed night as low pressure develops
S and SE of the area. The high will then move off to the E and NE
of the waters Thu into Thu night with a weakening ridge extending
westward into the northern and central waters. The low pressure
system to the S and SE of the area will likely weaken Thu and Thu
night.
