MID ATLANTIC STATES WATERS

SYNOPSIS...A complex area of strengthening low pressures across the outer mid-Atlantic waters pushes off to the E today and tonight, pulling a trailing cold front E of the area. Another cold front moves into the far N portions late tonight, stalls SE off Long Island Tue, then returns N as a warm front Tue night. High pressure builds across the area late Tue night and Wed, shifts to the S portions Wed night through Thu night, then moves E and dissipates Fri. Another cold front moves across the N portions Wed night and Thu, briefly stalls off the Outer Banks Thu night, then lifts back to the N early Fri. A strong cold front nears the coast later Fri, pushing E across the western Atlantic Fri night and Sat. High pressure builds E across the waters behind this cold front later Sat and Sat night. Mariners should monitor forecasts throughout the week, with the potential for widespread hazardous conditions possible late Fri into the weekend, in particular across the N and central areas.
