.SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...A strengthening coastal low will
continue moving slowly N just offshore of the SE U.S. today. A
secondary low will form offshore of the Virginia Capes tonight.
The original low will then move quickly E across the southern
waters late tonight through Mon night before becoming absorbed 
into the broadening secondary low Tue, now over the outer Mid- 
Atlantic waters. This broad complex low will continue moving 
slowly E through the outer Mid- Atlantic waters Mon night through
Tue night, before moving E of the area Wed. Mariners must 
monitor later forecasts on the coastal system, and execute 
avoidance plans as needed. This will be a long duration event for
the east coast, and impactful to the mariner. High pressure will
build S into the eastern U.S. Wed into Thu, maintaining a strong
pressure gradient across the northern and central waters. A new 
area of low pressure will likely form just E of the outer Mid- 
Atlantic waters Thu and remain nearly stationary into Thu night.
