.SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...A stationary front remains draped
across the central portions, then more S along the SE coast
today. The front gradually weakens through the day, then
disspates tonight. A cold front approaches from the N Mon, moves
into the far N portions Mon night, then stalls across the area
Tue into Wed night. The stationary front lifts back to the N as a
warm front Thu, with the associated low pressure moving offshore
New England later Thu and Thu night. This low will also pull a
cold front offshore and into the N and central portions later Thu
and Thu night. Otherwise, high pressure builds across the S
portions later Mon and Mon night, then persists through Thu
night.
