NWS Ocean Prediction Center Washington DC

Conditions given represent the highest within that period.

Locally higher winds and seas can be expected in and near tstms.

...Please refer to Coastal Waters Forecasts (CWF) available
through NOAA Weather Radio and other means for detailed coastal
waters forecasts...

.SYNOPSIS...A stationary front will persist from near the South
Carolina coast east and northeastward tonight as a series of
developing low pressure centers move NE along the front. The
final low will pull an associated cold front E over the southern
waters early Mon as another front approaches the N waters and
weakens. The final low will intensify over the outer portion of
the southern and central waters later Mon into Mon night, with
the intense 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 excute avoidance
plans as necessary. Widespread thunderstorms are likely near the
front and low mainly over the southern and central waters through
tonight into Mon. Very gusty winds and rough seas are possible in
the stronger tstms and mariners should use caution. The intense
low will move NE away from the region Wed as the next cold front
begins to move just off the New Jersey and Delmarva coasts. The
front will move SE over the northern and central waters Wed night
into Thu, and the S waters Thu night. High pressure will build SE
into the region Fri and Fri night.
