.SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...A stationary front extending NE
over the waters will dissipate today. A cold front will move
offshore today into this evening, reach the outer waters later
tonight, and then stall over the S waters Mon. The front will
remain over the S waters Mon night as low pressure begins to
organize along the front just off the S Carolina coast. The low
will continue to organize and move slowly E and NE over the
central and northern waters Tue through Wed while pulling a
trailing cold front E over the area. The low will pass E of the
northern waters Wed night with the trailing cold front clearing E
of the area. High pressure will build over the area behind the
low Wed afternoon and Wed night. The high will drift E across the
region Thu, and pass E of the area Thu night. Another cold front
will approach the northern Mid-Atlantic coast Thu night. Navtex
station Chesapeake Virginia is offline until further notice.
Technicians are aware of the problem and are working to have it
repaired. Sorry for any inconvenience.
