SYNOPSIS
High pressure will persist E of the area tonight into Sun night while maintaining a ridge over the far S portion into Wed night. The ridge will shift just S of the area Thu into Sat night before extending back across the southern portions Sun and Sun night. A cold front will approach from the NW Wed into early Thu, move slowly SE over the N and central waters later Thu into Fri, and then stall over these waters Fri night. The front will slowly drift N over the central and N waters Sat night through Sun night as a series of weak low pressure areas move E along the front. Chesapeake NAVTEX remains inoperable. Technicians are aware. We apologize for the inconvenience.
