.SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...A warm front will lift N over 
the N waters this evening, and then likely stall just N of the 
area later tonight as strengthening low pressure moves E along 
the front. A cold front trailing S and SW from the low will slide
E and SE over the waters later tonight into Mon. Low pressure 
and the cold front will pass E of the waters late Mon or Mon 
night. Weak high pressure then builds over the area Tue into Tue 
night. Another cold front approaches the waters from the W and NW
Tue night, moves into the waters Wed, and then stalls over the 
central portions Wed night into Thu night. High pressure builds 
over the N portion behind this front, while weak high pressure 
persists over the S portions Wed through Thu night. The front
will lift N as a warm front Fri as the next cold front approaches
