.SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...A high pressure ridge across the
S waters will slowly shift S of the region today into tonight. A
stationary front will persist over the N waters today and then
will dissipate tonight. A cold front will drop S into the
northern portion and stall tonight as low pressure develops and
moves E along the front tonight into Sun. Another low pressure
system will track NE and move off the northern Mid-Atlantic coast
late Sun into Sun night and then will pass N of the region later
Sun night. A cold front associated with this low will move E
across the waters Sun through Mon, then pass SE of the area Mon
night. High pressure will quickly move E through the S waters
Tue. Another developing low will move E off the coast near Cape
Hatteras Tue evening and will continue E and NE later Tue night
and Wed while strengthening and pulling a cold front across the
southern waters. High pressure will build E to the coast Wed
night.
