.SYNOPSIS FOR THE COASTAL WATERS FROM SANDY HOOK NJ TO FENWICK
ISLAND DE AND FOR DELAWARE BAY...
High pressure initially centered over portions of the Mid-
Atlantic and New England will shift slowly eastward through the
weekend and into the early part of next week. Tranquil weather
conditions are expected. By mid-week, the high should weaken and
shift farther offshore, allowing for a slightly more unsettled
pattern to take shape.
