.SYNOPSIS...Low pressure offshore of the mid-Atlantic coast will

move ESE farther into the N Atlantic today while gradually

intensifying. A cold front will slowly move over the S waters

behind the low through tonight, weakening Sun as high pressure

moves E across the entire area. The high moves E Sun night as a

warm front emerges off of the mid-Atlantic coast and quickly

moves N of the waters late Sun night and early Mon. A strong cold

front sweeps E across the area Mon and Mon night. As high

pressure slowly builds E over the S waters, a series of surface

troughs moves across the N and central waters Tue through Wed

around broad low pressure over E Canada. Another cold front moves

into the N waters Wed night as a broader surface trough develops

over the central and S waters ahead of the front.
