SYNOPSIS
Strengthening low pressure along the New Jersey coast will track E and NE across the northern waters today and tonight. The low will lift a warm front N the northern portion today and tonight while a strong cold front moves E across all the Mid-Atlantic offshore areas. The complex low pressure system will move slowly across the New England waters today into Sat, and then move well NE of the region Sat night into Sun. A series of secondary cold fronts or low pressure troughs will move E and SE over the region Thu night into Sat night as high pressure slowly builds E towards the area. The high will then gradually move offshore Sun and Sun night, then pass E of the region Mon and Mon night as another cold front approaches the area from the W.
