.SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...A warm front over the S waters
from just N of Cape Lookout to 32.5N72W will lift N today 
through Thu night. High pressure across the N portion will shift
E of the region today into tonight. Low pressure over North
Carolina will approach the Mid-Atlantic coast today, and move NE
across the waters tonight into Thu while pulling a cold front 
over the area. The low will then track NE of the region Thu night
through Fri night while strengthening. A weaker low will move NE
off the SE coast Thu night and Fri while pulling a cold front 
across the waters, and then pass E and NE of the area Fri night. 
Another high will build SE across the S portion Fri night into 
Sat night, then drift E Sat night through Sun night as a weak 
cold front moves SE through the N portion.
