.SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...High pressure anchored SE of
Bermuda will keep a ridge across the far southern waters today
through Wed, with the ridge weakening Wed night through Thu 
night. A cold front will move SE over the N waters today and then
stall across the central waters tonight. The front will persist 
over the central waters Mon as weak high pressure slides E over 
the N waters. The front will lift N as a warm front Mon night and
pass N of the waters Tue. The next cold front will approach from
the W and NW Tue night into Wed, then slowly move E and SE into 
the waters late Wed and Wed night. The front will become 
stationary from near the SE and southern Mid-Atlantic coast 
northeastward over the waters Thu and Thu night as a series of 
weak low pressure areas form along the front.
