.SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...High pressure across the S waters
will shift E of the area today while maintaining a weak ridge
across the central waters. Meanwhile, a weak cold front will move
slowly E across the waters and then will stall across the central
and southern portions this evening. Weak low pressure will
develop along the front this evening, then will track NE along
the front later tonight into Mon. The low will move well E of the
waters late Mon. The associated stationary front will lift N
across the waters as a weakening warm front Mon night and Tue.
Another cold front will move E across the waters Tue night into
Wed as strengthening low pressure passes just E of the area. The
front will stall and dissipate Wed. High pressure will build E
across the waters late Wed into Thu as developing low pressure
and a cold front approach the coast. The low will track NE near
the New England coast late Thu and Thu night while pulling the
cold front E across the waters.
