HIGH SLIDES SE/WRD OFF THE NORTHEAST COAST...GETS ELONGATED AND 
STRETCHED EAST/WEST SANDWICHED BTWN AN APRCHG UPPER TROF AND ATLNC 
UPPER RIDGE. AFTER A WEAK COLD FRONT DISSIPATES JUST TO THE NORTH OF 
THE MID ATLNC LATE SUN/EARLY MON...THE CYCLE REPEATS OVER THE COURSE 
OF THE COMING WEEK. NE/RLY FLOW SETS UP ACROSS THE ATLNC AGAIN ON 
MON/TUES. GFS SPREADS AN AREA OF ONSHORE LIGHT PRECIP/DZ FROM NYC 
DOWN ACROSS THE CHESPKE /FOR NOW...LEAVING POPS OUT AND INCRD CLOUD 
COVER/. AGAIN...THE SFC HIGH SLIDES SE OF THE NORTHEAST COAST AND 
ELONGATES...DIRECTING MORE E/RLY FLOW ACROSS THE MID ATLNC...KEEPING 
TEMPS MODERATED AND A DECENT WIND SPEED STRATIFICATION ACROSS THE 
BAY AND LAND AREAS /MUCH LIKE THE PAST SEVERAL DAYS/. EVEN THE SOLN 
OF THE SFC LOW OF THE CAROLINA COAST HAS MOVED FURTHER OUT TO SEA 
AND LESS ORGANIZED TOWARD THE END OF NEXT WEEK.
