waters forecasts...

.SYNOPSIS...A complex intensifying low pressure system to the NW
of Bermuda will remain nearly stationary to the NE of the waters
today, and then begin to slowly weaken tonight into Tue night as
it moves off to the SE. Mariners should execute avoidance plans
as a prolonged period of gale to storm force winds and building
seas is expected, with a chance for hurricane force winds mainly
near the north wall of the Gulf Stream today. A high pressure
ridge will build E over the waters today into Wed, then
dissipate Wed night as a cold front moves E towards the area.
Another intensifying low will develop along the front just off
the SE coast Wed night, then track E and NE of the waters Thu
through Fri while pulling a cold front over the area. High
pressure will build over the waters Fri night.
