Return flow sets up through midweek across ENC as high pressure
ridge gradually slides offshore. This will bring very warm
temperatures and generally dry conditions to ENC through
Tuesday night. Cold front tracks across the waters late Wednesday
with showers and breezy conditions. High pressure builds to the
north behind the stalled cold front to end the work week, while
low pressure develops offshore and will continue the hazardous
