...Please refer to Coastal Waters Forecasts (CWF) available
through NOAA Weather Radio and other means for detailed coastal
waters forecasts...

.SYNOPSIS...High pressure continues over the area through
tonight. The high gradually shifts E overnight as a cold front
approaches from the W. The cold front moves E across the N and
central waters Wed and Wed night, eventually stalling over or
near the far S waters Thu. Behind the front, another high builds
S, resulting in counterflow to the Gulf Stream and the potential
for steeper, breaking waves. High pressure then continues over
most of the area into Fri night, and then over the N waters Sat
and Sat night. To the S, low pressure should form along the
stalled cold front on Fri. The low and its associated warm front
should slowly move N offshore of the SE U.S. coast Fri night
through Sat night. The USCG broadcast from Charleston, South
Carolina is still experiencing technical difficulties.
Technicians are aware of the problem. We apologize for any
inconvenience.
