.SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...A stationary front will remain in
place across the S waters tonight while weak low pressure tracks
NE along the front. Weak high pressure will shift E across the N
waters tonight, then clear E and NE of the waters Thu. Another
low will form over the far S waters early Thu. The low will
likely strengthen while moving slowly NE near the outer waters
Thu night into early Sat. The low will move well NE of the waters
by late Sat. A cold front will approach the NW waters late Fri,
with the front then moving SE across the waters Fri night into
Sat night. Behind the front, high pressure will again build SE
across the N and central waters Sun into Mon. The high will
move E away from the area late Mon and Mon night while
maintaining a ridge westward across the waters.
