ANZ899-222030-
451 AM EDT Mon Apr 22 2024

.SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...Developing low pressure across
the southern waters will pull an associated cold front E early
today as another front approaches the N waters and weakens. The
low will intensify over the outer portion of the southern and
central waters later today into tonight, with the strong low
passing E of the central and northern waters Tue into Tue night.
All mariners should monitor the latest forecast and progress of
this strengthening low, and execute avoidance plans as
necessary. Thunderstorms are likely near the front and low
mainly over the SE portion today. Gusty winds and rough seas are
possible in these thunderstorms and mariners should use caution.
The intense low will move NE away from the region Wed as the
next cold front begins to move off the New Jersey and Delmarva
coasts. The front will move SE over the northern and central
waters Wed night into Thu, and will stall across the S waters
Thu night into Fri. High pressure will build SE into the region
Fri and Fri night.
