.SYNOPSIS...



Atlantic high pressure centered to Bermuda will continue to extend 

its axis across the southeastern states through midweek. An 

easterly wind surge late this afternoon through this evening will

thunderstorms possible, mainly during the overnight and early 

morning hours. A frontal boundary will briefly stall over the 

southeastern states late this week before lifting northward as a 

warm front during the Holiday weekend. Caution conditions will 

again be possible for the near shore waters from Friday through 

early next week as Atlantic high pressure becomes reinforced near 

Bermuda.
