.SYNOPSIS FOR NEW ENGLAND WATERS...Low pressure will move E
across the far S waters today. An associated front will stall and
low pressure is expected to redevelop near or S of the front
tonight through Tue night. It will lift slowly N towards the 
waters Wed and Wed night. Strong high pressure will build N of 
the region Tue and Tue night, then continue Wed into Thu night. 
The low will strengthen just S of the region Thu and Thu night, 
then move into the N waters Fri and Fri night. Widespread strong 
gale force winds, with storm force wind gusts, and building seas 
are likely over most of the waters beginning Tue and continuing 
through Fri night. 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.

from 1000 fm to 250 nm offshore.

ANZ899-211945-
513 AM EDT Mon Sep 21 2026

.SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...A cold front will move S and SE 
over the far northern waters this morning, moving 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.
