Low pressure over the Gulf of Maine and Canadian Maritimes will lift to the north and depart tonight. Meanwhile, high pressure over the Midwest gradually builds east. Another system slides across the Northeast Monday, then high pressure slides to our south Tuesday and Wednesday. A coastal storm or nor'easter may then arrive late this week.
