FZNT22 KWBC 220325 AAA OFFNT2 Offshore Waters Forecast...UPDATED NWS Ocean Prediction Center Washington DC 1125 PM EDT Mon Sep 21 2026 West central North Atlantic continental shelf and slope waters beyond 60 nm to 250 nm offshore, including south of Georges Bank from 1000 fm to 250 nm offshore. Seas given as significant wave height, which is the average height of the highest 1/3 of the waves. Individual waves may be more than twice the significant wave height. Locally higher winds and seas can be expected in and near tstms. ANZ899-230215- 1125 PM EDT Mon Sep 21 2026 .SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...A stationary front is located over the NE waters, extending into nearby low center with a cold front then extending SW front the center to the Virginia Capes. The cold front will stall from near the Virginia Capes eastward tonight through Tue night as low pressure develops S of the frontal boundary and moves slowly N and NE. Complex, strengthening, low pressure will move very slowly N, along or S of the front, Wed through Fri night, then move N or NW into the N waters or just N of N waters by Sat night. Strong high pressure will build N of the region while interacting with the frontal boundary and complex low pressure system over the area to generate strong NE to E gales starting Tue, with a period of storm force winds by late Thu. Expect building seas Tue through Fri night mainly over the central and northern waters. Mariners should consider avoidance plans as this significant weather system likely impacts most of the region Tue through Thu night. Please monitor the latest OPC and coastal marine forecasts. $$ ANZ820-230215- Hudson Canyon to Baltimore Canyon to 1000 FM- 1125 PM EDT Mon Sep 21 2026 ...GALE WARNING... .TONIGHT...E to NE winds 15 to 25 kt.
