.SYNOPSIS...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.
