.SYNOPSIS...A stationary front extending NE from the northern
part of the waters will persist tonight before dissipating Sun.
A cold front will approach the coast Sun morning, move slowly
offshore later Sun into Sun evening, reach the outer waters later
Sun night, and then stall over the area Mon. The front will
remain over the 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 away from the
area Tue through Wed while pulling a trailing cold front E over
the waters. The trailing cold front will clear E of the area Wed
night while weakening. A high pressure ridge will build over the
N waters behind the low Wed afternoon and Wed night. A ridge
axis will drift E across the area Thu, and pass E of the area by
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.
