1001 AM EST Wed Feb 18 2026
.SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...High pressure will shift E of the
region today and tonight. A front will move across the northern
waters tonight then move S across the central waters Thu before
stalling Thu night. The front will lift N as a warm front later
Thu night into Fri night. Low pressure will form along the front

a cold front across the region. The cold front will stall across
the southern waters Sat, then lift N as a warm front Sat night.
Meanwhile, high pressure will build across the N and central
waters Sat night behind the cold front. Low pressure associated
with the warm front will move offshore the SE coast Sun, then
quickly move N and NE through Sun night while pushing a cold
front across the waters. Mariners should consider avoidance plans
and monitor the latest forecasts. The NAVTEX at Chesapeake is
reported to be inoperative. Technicians are aware. We apologize
