.SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...With high pressure to the N, a
cold front nearly stationary over the central and S waters, with
weak low pressure moving along it, will gradually diminish
today. The weak low may actually drift W and SW along the front 
before dissipating. High pressure continues over much of the area
tonight and Fri, with a warm front developing over the far N 
waters moving NE Fri. The high shifts E Fri night ahead of strong
low pressure moving toward and into New England. The low slowly 
moves across N New England and into SE Canada Sat and Sun as its 
trailing cold front sweeps E across the waters Sat night and Sun.
A secondary surface trough may move S over the area Sun night, 
otherwise high pressure slowly builds E over the waters Mon and 
Mon night.
