.SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...Strong low pressure over the 
southern Gulf of Saint Lawrence today will track E tonight. A 
forming cold front will move across the N portion tonight, and 
then will stall across the central waters early Mon. A high 
pressure ridge S of the waters will gradually build N into the 
southern waters tonight through Mon night. The ridge will shift E
Tue and Tue night, as another cold front crosses the area and 
stalls across the S waters. Another high pressure ridge will 
build into the region Wed and Wed night as the stalled front 
lifts N as a warm front. Developing low pressure will approach 
the coast from the W Thu. The low will track NE near the New 
England coast Thu night while pulling a strong cold front across 
the waters.
