Low pressure will consolidate near southern New England tonight, then intensify as it tracks northward through late Saturday. Another cold front arrives Sunday night, then high pressure gradually builds in late Tuesday and Wednesday. A warm front to our southwest Thursday is then forecast to lift across our area during Friday.

There is a continued invest area off the Southeast Coast that will move offshore and out to sea. It could possibly bring some poor water conditions.
