.SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...A weak warm front will lift north
of the area today. A cold front will approach the coast late 
today and tonight, move E and SE over the northern and central 
waters Thu into Thu night, and reach the southern waters by early
Fri. The front will stall over the far southern waters Fri. 
Developing low pressure will track E and NE along the front, 
slowly passing over the southern and central zones late Thu night
into Sun. A high pressure ridge will develop across the S waters
late Sun and Sun night. Hurricane Larry, currently centered 
about 540 nm SE of Bermuda, will track NW, then N and then 
eventually NE while passing SE, E, and then NE of the waters over
the next several days. Larry is expected to pass just E and NE 
of Bermuda Thu and Thu night. Long period swell associated with 
Larry will continue impacting the waters today into the weekend. 
All mariners should closely monitor the latest information from 
the National Hurricane Center regarding Hurricane Larry.
