ANZ899-070245- 1113 PM EDT Sun Apr 5 2026 .SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...High pressure will persist over the S portions early tonight before retreating E as a strong cold front enters the waters. The cold front will sweep across the region tonight into Mon night. A secondary cold front will move through the N and central waters later tonight and Mon before high pressure builds E over the S and central waters late Mon into Tue. A surface trough will cross the northern waters Mon night and Tue, followed by low pressure Tue and Tue night. The low will push a cold front across the region Tue, with the front clearing E of the central and northern waters early Tue night. A secondary cold front will follow across the northern waters Tue night and early Wed. Behind the fronts, high pressure will build offshore across the northern portions while extending a ridge SW across the region Wed. The high will shift NE of the area Wed night as the ridge remains across the region through Fri night. $$ ANZ820-070245- Hudson Canyon to Baltimore Canyon to 1000 FM- 1113 PM EDT Sun Apr 5 2026 .TONIGHT...W to NW winds 10 to 20 kt.
