.SYNOPSIS FOR THE COASTAL WATERS FROM SANDY HOOK NJ TO FENWICK
ISLAND DE AND FOR DELAWARE BAY...
A low pressure system and its associated fronts cross the
region late tonight through Thursday night, bringing a slew of
wintry precipitation. After that, high pressure looks to briefly
return for the end of the week before our active pattern
returns and the next disturbance approaches for the weekend.
Another storm system may then affect our region toward the
middle of next week.
