The low pressure center is expected to remain over the coastal
waters of the Mid-Atlantic through Wednesday, continuing the
pattern of rainy, breezy, and below-average temperatures. As the
low shifts further northward, onshore flow ahead of the system may
bring an additional 1-2 inches of rainfall, mainly for coastal
locations. The low will begin to pull away from the coast
Wednesday night into Thursday as high pressure builds over the
Mid-Atlantic region and a cold front approaches from the
northwest. Strong onshore flow could lead to coastal flooding
along portions of the East Coast, follow your local NWS Weather
Forecast Office for details.

The next Storm Summary will be issued by the Weather Prediction
Center at 1100 AM EDT. Please refer to your local National Weather
Service office for additional information on this event.
