SYNOPSIS FOR THE COASTAL WATERS FROM SANDY HOOK NJ TO FENWICK ISLAND DE AND FOR DELAWARE BAY
Arctic high pressure across New England will weaken and shift
offshore into tonight. A weak system will bring a round of light
wintry mixed precipitation to the region the morning of
Christmas Eve. Cool and dry high pressure will then settle to
our northeast, with mostly dry conditions and gradually
moderating temperatures. The high will retreat into the weekend,
yielding another possibility of precipitation.
