MID ATLANTIC STATES WATERS

SYNOPSIS...A cold front over the far northern waters this morning, will move farther S over the northern into the central waters today. The front will stall from near the Virginia Capes eastward tonight through Tue night as low pressure develops S of the frontal boundary and moves slowly N and NE. Complex, strengthening, low pressure will move very slowly N, along or S of the front, Wed through Fri night. Strong high pressure will build N of the region while interacting with the frontal boundary and complex low pressure system over the area to generate strong NE to E gales, and potentially storm force winds and building seas Tue through Fri night mainly over the central and northern waters. Mariners should consider avoidance plans as this significant weather system likely impacts most of the region Tue through Thu night. Please monitor the latest OPC and coastal marine forecasts.
