.SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...A cold front across the northern
and central waters will move S today, and will stall near Cape
Fear tonight. Mariners should use caution in and near any
thunderstorms near the cold front today. Stronger thunderstorms
can produce very gusty winds and very rough seas. The stalled
front will lift N as a warm front and reach the central waters
Mon as low pressure develops and strengthens just E and NE of the
Virginia Capes later Mon. The low will continue to strengthen
while tracking E over the central and northern waters Mon night,
with a trailing cold front moving SE from the central into the
southern waters. The front will stall just S of the southern
waters Tue into Tue night as weak high pressure builds to the N
of the front. Weak low pressure will form along the front Tue
night just S of the waters, with the low passing E and SE of the
region during Wed. High pressure will briefly build E and SE over
the waters Wed into Wed night as another cold front approaches
from the NW. The weakening cold front will move SE across the
waters Thu followed by strong high pressure building E and SE
over the region Thu night.
