The front will lift N as a warm front Sun night before becoming nearly stationary again off of the Carolina coast on Mon. A weak area of low pressure will move E along the front Mon, causing the front to push back S into the far southern waters Mon night and become stationary again Tue. Meanwhile, high pressure will build E from the mid-Atlantic coast into the northern waters Tue into Wed. High pressure will move E away from the waters Wed night allowing the front across the far southern waters to gradually lift back N through the southern and central waters as a warm front Wed night through Thu night.
