MID ATLANTIC STATES WATERS
SYNOPSIS...Mariners should use caution in and near strong
thunderstorms which are currently near and off the coasts of New
Jersey and Delaware, with thunderstorms likely becoming more
widespread over a good portion of the area through Wed and into
Thu. The stronger thunderstorms can produce very gusty winds and
very rough seas. Otherwise, as high pressure remains over the S
waters, a surface trough will be located over the N and central
waters tonight through Wed night. A cold front approaches from
the NW Thu, gradually moving SE across the N waters Thu night and
Fri as high pressure to the S retreats E. The front should weaken
and stall over the central waters Fri night through Sat, with
weak low pressure possibly forming off of the SE U.S. coast just
S of the front along a surface trough. The front should move back
N as a weak warm front late Sat and Sat night as high pressure
builds N. The high continues over most of the area Sun and Sun
night, with any weak low pressure drifting off of the SE coast.
