.SYNOPSIS FOR THE COASTAL WATERS FROM SANDY HOOK NJ TO FENWICK
ISLAND DE AND FOR DELAWARE BAY...
High pressure will gradually shift to our northeast through the
weekend then farther east early next week. This will provide a
prolonged stretch of mainly dry weather and relatively mild
temperatures. A weak area of low pressure develops off the Southeast
U.S coast, then slowly moves north to northeastward through early
next week and remains well away from our area.
