SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE OFF THE NEW ENGLAND COAST WILL BE IN CONTROL

GENERALLY SPEAKING, DEEP LAYER RIDGING WITH WARM TEMPERATURES AND
LOW RAIN CHANCES WILL PREVAIL THROUGH THE PERIOD.
FOR SOME OF THE FINER DETAILS, AS THE RIDGE AXIS SHIFTS EASTWARD
AN UPPER-LEVEL SHORTWAVE WILL ROTATE AROUND IT, DROPPING THROUGH
THE SOUTHEAST MONDAY - TUES. THIS WAVE WILL BRING INCREASED PWATS
AND FORCING TO THE REGION TO COMBINE WITH THE SEABREEZES TO RESULT
