ANZ899-131530- 904 PM EST Thu Feb 12 2026 .SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...High pressure will build SE toward the coast tonight, then overspread the waters Fri into Sat. The high will slide off to the E and SE of the waters Sat night as a warm front develops near the SE coast. The warm front will lift N over the waters Sun and Sun night as low pressure approaches the South or North Carolina coast. The low will move E over the central and S waters late Sun night into Mon night, while pulling a cold front through the area. The low will clear E of the area Tue and Tue night. Meanwhile high pressure will fill across the waters Tue through Tue night. The Chesapeake NAVTEX is currently down. Technicians are aware of the problem and are troubleshooting. $$ ANZ820-131530- Hudson Canyon to Baltimore Canyon to 1000 FM- 904 PM EST Thu Feb 12 2026 .TONIGHT...NW winds 15 to 25 kt.
