.SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...A high pressure ridge will
prevail over the far southern waters tonight into Wed night. A
cold front over the central waters will stall this evening into
tonight, then drift N as a warm front Wed and Wed night. Low
pressure will develop along the front off the Mid-Atlantic coast
Thu, then drift slowly E to SE across the N and central waters
Thu night into Fri while pulling a weakening cold front across
the area. The weak low will lift N over the area Fri night as the
next cold front approaches from the W. This cold front will move
E and SE over the waters Sat and Sat night. A series of low
pressure troughs or secondary cold fronts will move SE across the
N waters Sun and Sun night. Another low will move into the
central and S waters Sun and Sun night.
