.SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...Low pressure centered about
120 nm E of Cape Fear will strengthen and track slowly E and NE
across the southern waters tonight before shifting E of the area
Wed. Another low pressure area will pass N of the area tonight,
pulling a weak cold front SE over the waters. The low will slow
down and strengthen to the NE of the waters Wed and Wed night
before tracking E away from the area Thu and Thu night. The front
will stall near the far southern waters Wed night and Thu, and
then will dissipate Thu night. Weak low pressure or a low
pressure trough will develop across the S waters Fri, and will
remain in place Fri night through Sat night as another high
builds E across the waters. The high pressure ridge will slowly shift
E of the area Sat into Sun night while developing low pressure
and an associated cold front move E to the coast.
