So, it looks like all of the convection is way south of the LLC at this point and will stay there, as that's where the moisture and the jet stream is.

My forecast, cut and dry:

Will eventually weaken and move into the Canadian Maritimes by Tuesday due to a lack of moisture and the jet stream moving northward.
