Low pressure east of Long Island and south of New England has stalled and will impact the forecast area over the next several days.  Variable cloud cover can be expect today through Tuesday.  Scattered showers will be rotating through the coastal waters through this afternoon as the low pressure system slowly drifts east.  Showers will become widely scattered tonight and tomorrow as the low pressure system loses influence.  Variable clouds and isolated showers can be expected on Tuesday.

Winds will be from the north and northwest around 10 to 20 mph today through this evening.  Tonight through Monday, winds will remain from the north and northwest around 15 to 30 mph.  Winds will decrease from the north on Monday night through Tuesday around 5 to 15 mph.  

Temperatures will rise into the mid 60′s to lower 70′s for afternoon highs.  On Monday, temperatures will fall into the upper 50′s to lower 60′s for morning lows and rebound into the upper 60′s to lower 70′s for afternoon highs.  On Tuesday, temperatures will fall into the upper 50′s to lower 60′s for lows and rebound into the lower to mid 70′s for afternoon highs.  

Water temperatures will range from the mid 60′s to lower 70′s over the New Jersey coastal waters down through the Delaware Bay.  Much cooler waters are expected east of Long Island with water temperatures in the upper 50′s to mid 60′s.

Wave heights will range from 2 to 4 feet through the period.  A small craft advisory is in effect through early Tuesday morning for much of the coastal waters due to the low pressure system off the coast.  

Minor coastal flooding may be an issue for the northern shores of Long Island and the south facing bays throughout the forecast area due to the persistent northerly winds over the next several days.
