.SYNOPSIS FOR THE COASTAL WATERS FROM SANDY HOOK NJ TO FENWICK
ISLAND DE AND FOR DELAWARE BAY...
Arctic high pressure currently situated over portions of the
Ohio Valley will continue to shift east into our region through
tonight. An area of low pressure currently over the northwestern
Gulf of Mexico will track northeast, exiting off of the Mid-
Atlantic coast Saturday morning. This will bring a chance of
light snow to the area for the first half of the weekend. High
pressure will again settle into the area Sunday into Monday. A
reinforcing shot of cold air will arrive Tuesday into Wednesday,
and remain in place through the extended period as a mid-level
trough prevails across the northeastern US.
