.SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC...A slow-moving cold front off of the 
North Carolina coast will shift slightly S overnight and Sat as 
high pressure increases over the N waters. The front should
become nearly stationary Sat, and low pressure centers will move
along the front. One low should develop more well offshore of 
the Delmarva peninsula Sat night and Sun. This low will gradually
move Sun and Sun night, moving N of the waters Mon. Behind the 
low, a weak front over the far S waters will slowly start to move
N as a warm front Mon night and continue through Tue night 
around the W end of high pressure. The warm front should move N 
of the waters Wed as weak low pressure approaches the mid- 
Atlantic coast from the W Wed night. Chesapeake NAVTEX continues 
to be reported inoperable. Technicians are aware. We apologize 
for the inconvenience.
