Coastal Flood Watches and advisories are in effect from Long Island, N.Y. to the Delmarva Peninsula.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}NWS said that a low-pressure system is expected to develop along the frontal boundary and head towards New England on Monday, leading to drier Memorial Day for residents of the Mid-Atlantic.
However, low temperatures are also bringing a chill to the region, the Northeast, the Central Plains, the Midwest and several areas of the Ohio Valley.
To the north, temperatures in the early mornings are anticipated to dip low enough for freeze and frost worries in the Upper Midwest and Great Lakes area on Saturday.
